  • Develop and implement tiered behavioral intervention plans for students with identified behavioral needs, including measurable goals and action steps.
  • Ensure that interventions at each tier (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3) are tailored to students' specific needs, with a focus on prevention, targeted support, and intensive interventions.
  • Monitor and adjust intervention plans based on student progress data to ensure effectiveness and address ongoing challenges.
  • Work with students to help them understand and improve their behaviors through positive reinforcement, conflict resolution strategies, and social-emotional learning (SEL) techniques.
  • Conduct one-on-one or small group sessions with students needing additional behavioral support.
  • Collaborate with teachers to create and implement proactive classroom management strategies that promote positive behavior.

Collaboration with Staff and Families:

  • Serve as a key member of the school's student support team, collaborating with teachers, school counselors, and administrators to address students' behavioral needs.
  • Provide regular updates and reports to staff on the progress of individual students and overall behavior trends within the school.
  • Collaborate with families to provide insights and strategies for reinforcing positive behavior at home.
  • Support the Culture and Climate Team:
    • Work alongside the Culture and Climate team to support the implementation of action steps that align with school-wide goals for improving behavior and promoting a positive school culture.
    • Crisis Intervention and De-escalation:
      • Respond to behavioral crises and de-escalate situations as they arise.
      • Implement crisis intervention strategies and support students in processing difficult emotions and incidents.
      • Work closely with school counselors and mental health professionals to ensure students receive appropriate care.
    • Data Collection and Progress Monitoring:
      • Track and document student behavior incidents, interventions, and outcomes.
      • Use data to assess the effectiveness of behavior plans and restorative interventions and make recommendations for adjustments.
      • Participate in the development of school-wide behavioral goals and initiatives.

Qualifications and Requirements:

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Education, Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or a related field.

Experience:

2+ years of experience working with elementary-aged children in an educational or behavioral support role.

Previous experience with Restorative Practices is required, including facilitating restorative circles, peer mediation, and conflict resolution.

Skills and Knowledge:
