Role of Student Success Coaches:
Student Success Coaches are committed to students and their learning. They are dedicated to helping students maximize the time they are actively engaged in learning and to, conversely, minimize the time students spend out of the classroom due to behavior. They act on the belief that all students can follow expectations, given appropriate and adequate supports. They treat students equitably, recognizing the individual differences that distinguish their students one from the other and taking into account these differences in their practice. They adjust their practice as appropriate, based on observation and knowledge of their students’ interests, abilities, skills, knowledge, family circumstances and peer relationships.
Student Success Coaches know how to respond to student behaviors and act based on that knowledge. They understand ways to address student behaviors in a positive manner such as Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Responsive Classroom (RC) strategies, and Restorative Justice (RJ) practices. They defuse and deescalate situations through research-based strategies like Crisis Prevention Interventions (CPI). They deeply understand the school’s plan for responding to student behavior and implement it with fidelity and consistency, while maintaining an individualized and equitable approach. Student Success Coaches monitor the success of interventions and adapt as needed. The interventions implemented will range from immediate reactions to a behavior concern to long-range collaborative plans that result from a pattern of behavior or intense needs. Student Success Coaches’ role in delivering the interventions range from being actively involved as the key person delivering the intervention to simple monitoring and communication.
Student Success Coaches communicate and collaborate with staff and families. When working on a behavior issue for a given student, Student Success Coaches communicate with staff and families to ensure all parties are clear on the response to a specific concern and follow-up as needed. At the same time, they are aware of the types of information that are considered private data and keep them confidential. They seek and incorporate input from staff and families in regard to selected interventions, especially those that are longer term. This includes listening openly to concerns expressed and working collaboratively to resolve them. Home visits will, at times, be a necessary part of the communication and collaboration process.
Qualifications:
- Experience in a diverse environment (preferred)
- Experience with Responsive Classroom (preferred)
- Experience with Restorative Practices (preferred)
- Experience with Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (preferred)
Compensation: Minimum starting salary is $55,000, depending on experience, plus a district contribution towards insurance.
