Highland Heights, Kentucky, United States Northern Kentucky University Full time

Join the Kentucky College Coaches on Campus program and make a direct impact on student success. As a College Coach (AmeriCorps Member), you will support high school students—especially those who are first-generation, low-income, minority, non-traditional, or have disabilities—as they transition to and persist through college. This role combines mentoring, advising, and career readiness support to ensure students stay on the path toward higher education.

Primary Responsibilities

The AmeriCorps employee will be expected to work their part-time schedule helping students via in person, phone, and Teams and Blackboard setting to assist them in developing:

Reading Comprehension – (critical reading) numerous studies have shown that reading online vs. traditional printed materials does not develop increased reading comprehension.

Study strategies – students view assignments as to-do items to be checked off and lack the realization and effort to learn from the assignments. Learning requires active work on the part of the learner to retain the information.

Ability to learn long-term – Retention of comprehensive information is lacking. May be related to preceding item. Also, I wonder if lack of comprehensive, standardized national testing such as the ACT also contributes to students' lack of realization of this expectation.

Accountability for effort. Students seem to feel that whatever level of effort/performance they put forth is adequate for academic success. They feel entitled to a passing grade rather that realize that they could fail or succeed based on their ability to demonstrate their level of learning mastery of the course material.

Math skills-Dual Credit students did not have a strong algebra background as the students normally in college algebra.

Communication Skills-The students do not seem as at ease in interacting with each other and their teachers.

Critical Thinking Skills-Students have a hard time with critical thinking skills.

Social /emotional support- a lot of students have some level of anxiety, and I also think that students returning to school as older online adult learners can really struggle with motivation and accountability if they are not physically in the classroom.
