Spectrum Center Schools and Programs, a dynamic organization with a social mission to offer hope, is seeking a Behavior Specialist to join our award-winning team and perform meaningful work in a culture that welcomes innovation, encourages creative expression, and offers limitless potential for personal and professional satisfaction.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated Behavior Specialist to guide and assist with our school-wide/classroom implementation of the positive behavior support program, increasing positive student behaviors. This position focuses on proactive strategies when working with challenging behaviors and is immediately available to respond to crisis situations with the ability to de-escalate students using CPI strategies, behavioral contracts, and interventions documented in student's behavioral intervention plan, if applicable.

Responsibilities:
  • Implement individual, group, or systems-level intervention to promote positive academic, social/emotional, behavioral, and independent outcomes.
  • Reinforce appropriate student behavior and redirect negative behaviors. Model these strategies for all staff.
  • Maintain and update records related to the development and implementation of student behavior strategies (SBS) or BIPs.
  • Collect and chart behavioral data for the purpose of progress monitoring and supporting IEP teams in informing instruction.
  • Provide support to teachers and classroom staff in monitoring individual student behavior and class-wide behavior management systems.
  • Implement SBS or BIPs in classrooms and other instructional settings.
  • Apply principles of applied behavior analysis in classroom settings under the direction of a board-certified behavior analyst to improve student outcomes and prevent/de-escalate disruptive behaviors.
  • Conduct classroom or student observations using behavioral measurements needed for functional behavior assessments and behavior intervention plans.
  • Assist the classroom teacher with the preparation and implementation of learning activities, providing student instruction, supervising students, and other school or classroom activities.
  • Provide appropriate crisis intervention as necessary using the least restrictive intervention technique by anticipating and responding quickly to escalating behaviors, utilizing appropriate de-escalation techniques to diffuse the situation, correctly prioritizing safety concerns, following proper physical intervention techniques, and displaying non-reactive emotions.
  • Complete required documentation and reports, including the documentation of incidents in accordance with program policies and procedures. Assist in the preparation of other behavior reports and daily activities as required. Always maintain confidentiality of student information and records.
  • Follow all universal precautions (e.g., blood-borne pathogens, CPR, First Aid, etc.) and all emergency procedures.
  • Identify potential safety issues/hazards and report to the site safety committee and to your supervisor. This may include participating in the safety committee.
  • Attend and participate in team/clinical meetings, supervision meetings, all-staff meetings, teacher meetings, annual planning and action teams as directed.
  • Attend trainings designed to increase knowledge of current behavioral principles, policies, and procedures.
  • Assist with the supervision of students during school activities (e.g., field trips, bus areas, classroom areas, lunchroom, play areas, and in other assigned areas). Upon request, provide supervision and support to students during transportation to and from school in district-operated or school-operated vehicles.
  • Travel to/from multiple site locations during the school day to support classrooms when requested by the Program Director.
  • Perform other duties and projects as assigned.
Qualifications:
  • High School Diploma or equivalent with passage of basic skills test.
  • Associate's degree or higher in a related field preferred.
  • Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification preferred.
  • Valid state driver's license.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain certification in the approved crisis management system.
  • Prior experience working with individuals with severe learning, emotional, and/or behavioral disorders.
  • Prior experience working with students in an educational program setting preferred.
  • Experience in Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) preferred.
  • Ability to think and act quickly and calmly in an emergency situation and make independent decisions.
  • Excellent oral and written communication, instruction, conflict resolution, multitasking, problem-solving, decision-making, and organizational skills.
  • Knowledge of relevant technology, including experience with computers, Microsoft Office Suite, database entry, and basic office equipment.
