The Behavior Resource Teacher's primary responsibility is to provide support to students and teachers. Our ultimate goal at Irby is to create a positive and safe learning environment so that each student can reach his/her maximum potential.

What does a Behavior Resource Teacher do?

• Works to improve school-wide behavior to maximize instructional time
• Provides tools for students to learn pro-social behaviors such as empathy, impulse control, and feelings management
• Teaches students to be responsible for their own behavior
• Supports teachers and families through behavior intervention and positive discipline strategies
    

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
• Sit face-to-face with your child and ask questions about their day. 
• Read together daily.
