• Building Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning activities, and challenge navigation
• Delivering consistent, actionable feedback to Guides that drives student engagement and achievement
• Personally mentoring a small student cohort, demonstrating expert coaching and motivational techniques
