Responsibilities:

Teacher Support

Provide professional development and coaching cycles that support consistent implementation of Tier 1 PBIS practices, including clearly defined classroom expectations, routines, and procedures aligned to school wide behavior frameworks.

Deliver student-centered instructional coaching to assist educators in proactively addressing student behavior through prevention-focused, developmentally appropriate, and culturally responsive strategies that support social, emotional, and behavioral skill-building.

Collaborate with staff to develop and implement evidence-based behavior management practices, including individual and whole-class reinforcement systems, efficient transition routines, and developmentally appropriate de-escalation strategies.

Support the design, implementation, and monitoring of Tier 1 PBIS interventions, ensuring consistent use of universal strategies that reinforce positive behavior, increase instructional time, and improve overall classroom climate.

Model effective PBIS-aligned practices in classrooms and provide feedback that promotes reflection, growth, and sustained implementation of positive behavior supports.

MTSS/PBIS Training

Collaborate with school PBIS teams to analyze classroom and school wide behavior data, identify trends, and support action planning that strengthens universal systems and reduces reliance on reactive and exclusionary discipline practices.

Provide ongoing training, coaching, and technical assistance to building-level PBIS coaches to strengthen their capacity to implement, monitor, and sustain Tier 1 social- emotional, and behavioral systems.

Support secondary PBIS coaches in facilitating staff learning, modeling practices, and addressing implementation challenges related to universal behavior supports and social-emotional instruction.

Model developmentally appropriate, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed classroom practices that promote emotional safety, positive relationships, and predictable learning environments for all students.

Support/guide teams in integrating restorative practices (e.g., community circles, affective language, repair conversations) as proactive Tier 1 strategies that reduce exclusionary discipline and strengthen classroom climate.

Assist PBIS coaches in the use of fidelity tools and data (e.g., TFI, SET, discipline dashboards) to identify strengths, gaps, and targeted professional development needs.

Serve as a liaison between PBIS, MTSS, SEL, and special education teams to promote coherence, avoid duplication of supports, and strengthen early intervention efforts.

Communication

Meet regularly with district leadership to align coaching work with district priorities.

Collaborate with district coaches, PBIS coaches, and building administrators to support consistent MTSS/PBIS implementation.

Contribute to the planning and facilitation of district-wide professional development.

Serve as a communication bridge between district leadership and school-based teams by sharing implementation successes, identifying barriers, and recommending system-level supports.

Leadership

Support and strengthen secondary PBIS implementation by assisting school teams with planning, implementation, and problem-solving related to universal and targeted behavior supports.

Engage in ongoing professional development opportunities designed to enhance instructional coaching effectiveness and leadership capacity.
