OHVA Learning Coach Academy 25-26

• HERE is the newsletter link to find out all about Boosters! Boosters are so important to our other learning coaches, and our staff!
• LISTEN TO A PODCAST about Booster involvement.

K12 has created the Learning Coach Community. A place to connect with other learning coaches and find information you need. There is a special section in the national community that is specific to OHVA. There you can connect with other OHVA Learning Coaches and have access to resources that can help you get answers you need quickly!

The Learning Coach Community will be part of a new app that is coming later this year that will connect you to the community and your learning coach account to monitor your student's progress and do things like enter attendance and communicate with your student's teachers and other staff.

To login to the OHVA Learning Coach Community: Please go into your Learning Coach Account on Canvas and click on LC Community! Use your LC credentials to sign in, and you should have access to the OHVA community as well!

See below for photos to assist you in logging in and connecting with the LCC!

You can search for other OHVA families that are near you and 'friend' their Learning Coach in the Learning Coach Community. This is a great way to connect and maybe even get together in person!

• JOIN A PARENT/LC FACEBOOK GROUP. They are organized by grade band. This is a place where LC's help each other with questions, and our staff can help direct needs to the right staff member.

Our many Learning Coach Facebook groups are available:

• From NEWBIES to EACH GRADE BAND
• From SPECIAL SUPPORT to BOOSTERS
• Learning Coach connections will help you every day.
• It is a place to ask questions and seek information, make new friends and get involved with other learning coaches.

• USE LEARNING LIFTOFF for your own LC information and support.
• LEARN MORE ABOUT LEARNING STANDARDS (Some of the Effective Educator Process - SEE FILES BELOW).

In 2025, the State of Ohio adopted a newer program for our schools called The Science of Reading.

Here is the We Are Teachers overview of The Science of Reading.

What IS The Science of Reading? Here is The OSU Family Engagement Center's explanation of what it is and why it is being promoted!

Here are some more great videos about the Science of Reading!

• What is Phonemic Awareness?
• Sight Words and Their Importance

Ask your homeroom teacher or IS on more about how YOUR student can achieve mastery in Reading!

• LISTEN TO A PODCAST from our administrators
• HEAR ENCOURAGEMENT from our Head of School, Dr. Kristin Stewart
• HEAR WHAT PARENTS AND STUDENTS have to say about their education at OHVA
• TAKE THE TECH CHECK class to become better computer literate. Sign up in the link to the left.

*As a reminder, OHVA's student handbook states: "In any instance where technical difficulties are a problem with your school-supplied computer or other hardware or software, it is required that the learning coach contact K12 technical support immediately at 866.512.2273 so qualified technicians can assist in resolving your problem. A student or parent must request the name of the technician and the ticket number and report them to the academic advisor (HS) or teacher (K-8) within 24 hours.

Computer problems are not valid reasons for seeking extended time on assignments or test due dates or as a reason why a student has not been working in his/her assigned courses or attending class connect sessions.

In order to stay on target with assignment due dates, all students are required to seek alternative ways to access the Internet, such as a library or family member’s computer. The computer is your classroom and it needs to be available every school day. "
