Learning Coach TEAM Center

Restorative Practices & Student Success Facilitator for Connally Junior High

The Learning Coach TEAM Center serves as a student-centered behavioral interventionist and restorative practices facilitator dedicated to supporting students whose behaviors may interrupt/disrupt the instructional environment and interfere with academic success. The TEAM Center is designed to provide students with structured restorative resets, behavioral coaching, social-emotional support, and opportunities to reflect, refocus, and return to class prepared to learn successfully. The TEAM Center will allow students to continuously engage in instruction through live videoing of their teacher/instructional setting.

The ideal candidate is highly relational, emotionally intelligent, patient, well-tempered, solution-oriented, and experienced in managing challenging student behaviors while maintaining dignity and respect for all students.
