It is a fast-paced environment full of reading learning and games. Program Coaches attend essential paid training and onboarding prior to starting at their assigned school. In the RBBB K-1 Program Program Coaches train the 4th/5th-grade Leaders in RBBBs curriculum to foster reading confidence skills in their Kindergarten/1st-grade Readers. In the RBBB 2-3 program Program Coaches train the middle school Leaders in RBBBs curriculum to foster reading confidence skills in their 2nd/3rd grade Readers.
Primarily the Program Coach facilitates the literacy program ensures curriculum progress and promotes a safe and healthy learning environment. Once weekly the Program Coaches from the same school district will meet (virtually or in-person) with their Program Coordinator to share successes address any concerns and receive needed materials. Program Coaches also attend professional development workshops during the semester. The program ends with a graduation event at the assigned school. The after-school literacy program is semester-based but Program Coaches are encouraged to return semesterly.
