A Coach is a district employee who may be a Learning Support Teacher, Special Education Teacher, or a School Counselor and who needs to monitor a student’s progress in eAcademy.

For users to be associated with a student In Genius, they must first have a Coach role, either as a primary or secondary role. Once the Coach role has been created, you can associate a student account to a Coach.

If you need a Coach role added to a user’s existing account or you need a Coach account created, follow the steps below.

  • Schoology: If students are enrolled in Schoology courses, you can also request that an account be created for the district employee in Schoology.

  • Accelerate Education and Buzz: If students are enrolled in Accelerate Education courses, you can also request that an Observer account be created for the district employee in Buzz.
