What is a tiered support specialist?
As the Tiered Support Specialist, I work closely with students, families, teachers, and school staff to create a positive, safe, and supportive learning environment where every child can succeed. My role focuses on helping students develop important social, emotional, and behavioral skills that support success both in the classroom and beyond. I work with students individually, in small groups, and schoolwide to teach skills such as self-regulation, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and positive decision-making.
I also collaborate with families and school teams to identify the supports that best meet each student's needs. This may include developing individualized behavior plans, monitoring student progress, teaching positive behavior strategies, and celebrating student growth. My goal is to partner with families and staff to help every student build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills they need to be successful at school and in life.
