Helping coaches hold students accountable
Accountability is goal-directed persistence. Choose one growth edge and return to it. Don't chase whatever problem shows up that week.
§Help coaches identify the student's growth edge, what the student, parents, and coach are actually trying to build.
§Keep steady, simple, clear pressure on that growth edge over time.
§Define accountability concretely: texting back, going to office hours, attending HW Center, using a planner, asking for help, following through on a commitment.
§The goal is not pressure everywhere. It is the right pressure point, returned to consistently.
In a coach check-in, you notice this pattern: Week 1, the goal was 'use the planner.' Week 2, math test panic, focus shifted to studying. Week 3, social drama, focus on confidence. Week 4, planner came up again, student had stopped using it entirely.
For each of your coaches: can you name, in one sentence, the growth edge they are pressing on?

One edge per pair. Written down.
- 1Use the growth edge builder to write one edge per coach-student pair you supervise.
- 2Open your next 1:1 with each coach by reading their pair's growth edge out loud.
Bring one stuck point about a coach to another coordinator this week. Not for advice. Just to name it and have it witnessed. Modeling growth also means letting your peers see where you are still working.
Two weeks in, every coach can name their student's growth edge without checking notes.
