Job Summary

Job Summary

We believe behavior is a form of communication. Through relationships, consistency, skill-building, and supportive interventions, students can learn the self-regulation and problem-solving skills necessary to thrive in school and beyond. The role of the Behavior Intervention Facilitator is not to manage students through compliance, but to help students develop the skills necessary to regulate themselves, solve problems, build relationships, and successfully participate in their learning community. The Behavior Intervention Facilitator reports to the Special Education Coordinator, the Behavior Intervention Developer, and the School Administrator, and supports students whose behavioral, social-emotional, and self-regulation needs impact their ability to access instruction and successfully participate in the school environment. Working under the direction of certificated staff, the facilitator assists in the implementation of Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), positive behavior supports, and social-emotional interventions designed to increase student independence, self-regulation, and engagement in learning. The primary purpose of this position is to help students develop the skills necessary to successfully participate in school while preserving student dignity, promoting inclusion, and reducing barriers to learning.
