District Office

The Itinerant Preschool Classroom & Behavior Support Specialist provides flexible, hands‑on, and targeted behavioral and classroom support across multiple district locations for preschool students (ages 3 to
5). Operating under the direct supervision and guidance of the Preschool Director and Psychologist, this dual‑function role serves to maintain classroom continuity, safety, and engagement.

The specialist provides direct behavioral interventions such as implementing Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) and collecting data while also possessing the flexibility to lead classroom activities and routines. This enables classroom teachers to step away to provide targeted one‑on‑one interventions, or vice versa, ensuring a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment for all students.

• Data Collection: Collects accurate, objective behavioral data (e.g., frequency counts, ABC data, duration logs, classroom climate observations) to assist the Preschool Psychologist in monitoring student progress and adjusting BIPs.
• Capacity Building: Models behavioral interventions, visual supports, and positive reinforcement techniques (e.g., visual schedules, token boards, social stories) for classroom teachers and para educators.

• Instructional & Routine Leadership: Leads classroom routines (e.g., circle time, small group activities, centers) and implements lesson plans to maintain classroom flow while the primary teacher directly manages behavioral crises or co‑regulates individual students.
• Group Management: Supervises and engages the larger student group during transition periods, outdoor play, meal/snack times, and bus arrivals/departures to proactively prevent and manage behavioral triggers.
• Personal Care & Daily Routines: Assists individual students or the larger group with personal care needs (e.g., toileting, diapering, handwashing, feeding) during routine activities or behavioral events.
• Multi‑Site Support: Travels daily or weekly to assigned preschool sites to provide dynamic classroom and targeted behavioral support.
• Team Communication: Communicates regularly with the Preschool Psychologist, classroom teachers, and site administrators to share observations, data, schedules, and student progress.
• Confidentiality: Maintains strict confidentiality regarding student files, behavioral records, and family information.

• Assists pupil services staff, guidance personnel, or building administration with classroom and behavior‑related tasks as needed.
