What does a Behavior Resource Teacher do?

    * works to improve school-wide behavior to maximize instructional time
    * supports teachers through behavior intervention and positive discipline strategies

    * provides tools for students to learn pro-social behaviors such as empathy, impulse control, and anger management
    * teaches students to be responsible for their own behavior
    * provides supervision for students before and after school, in the hallways, and in the lunchroom

How can you help your child?

    * practice consistent routines and establish clear rules at home which will carry over to school (i.e. waiting your turn, listening while others speak, etc.)
    * teach age-appropriate independence and responsibility
    * encourage the use of "I Care" language when interacting with others
