Field Success Coach

About the Team
Michigan Online School (MOS) is a K-12 tuition-free online public school in the state of Michigan. At MOS, we empower students to be their best by enabling them to learn in ways that are right for them - using innovative technology at home, at their proper level, and at their own pace.
The Field Success Coach effectively orients students to the online school environment and encourages them to work with teachers and school counselors to meet graduation expectations, all regulatory requirements, and sound administrative practice. This is accomplished through in-person coaching and instruction at student homes or public spaces within students' local communities. The Field Success Coach motivates students to achieve their full attendance, academic, and behavioral goals, as well as other goals identified.
