Behavior
Coaches are Instructional Support Teachers who support all schools
within OCPS. The Behavior Coaches are assigned specific schools based on
the Learning Community. They provide behavior
support by conducting observations and making recommendations for
behavior interventions along with developing capacity at each school.
Behavior Coaches meet with site-based teams to provide specialized
training, consultation to child study teams, and assist with monitoring
of students who exhibit behavioral concerns.
Behavior
Coaches also work very closely with our specialized center sites that
support our more behaviorally challenged students. They collaborate with
the center site team regularly to build capacity at the host
school. This is accomplished through staff development, progress monitoring of student data;
providing information, intervention and strategy suggestions for
developing FBA/BIP's and assistance with classroom management and
organization skills. In addition, the Behavior Coach works with the team
to build a strong foundation of behavioral knowledge with staff and school support. This collaborative
approach assists the team to develop individualized interventions, increase
student success and address behavior concerns school wide.
