Mansfield Hall Coach
Mansfield Hall is a living and learning community for neurodivergent college students, students who are capable of college but not yet fully ready for total independence. We organize the work around four areas: Living (independent living skills), Learning (academic and executive functioning), Giving (community involvement), and Engaging (social and emotional growth). Coaches are how all four of those actually happen. Not in a classroom, in the moment, every day.
Coach students through academic planning, coursework management, executive functioning, self-advocacy, and college success skills
Meet individually with students to help them organize assignments, manage deadlines, prepare for registration, and access accommodations and campus resources
Build individualized support plans that help students move toward greater independence over time
Track academic progress, anticipate barriers, and help students respond before small issues become larger problems
Communicate regularly with families and stakeholders about student progress, concerns, strengths, and support strategies
Collaborate with college partners, accessibility offices, academic support centers, and internal Mansfield Hall staff
Supervise, coach, and develop staff as assigned, including training on learning differences and executive functioning
Participate in team meetings, Director meetings, community meetings, and the on-call rotation
