WHAT IS A TIER 1 COACH?
Tier 1 Coaches, along with their Site Administration, will prepare to lead their school through the planning and implementation of a Student Intervention & Support System. These leaders will learn the critical features of an effective system, and understand the integration of classroom management practices into Tier I. Participants will also learn about coaching and team facilitation roles, use of behavioral data for decision-making, and progress-monitoring for fidelity of implementation and student outcomes.
WHY IS A TIER 1 SYSTEM IMPORTANT?
The fundamental purpose of school wide behavior system is to make schools more effective and equitable learning environments. In addition, effective behavior systems aligns with VUSD's district wide goal #3, which states:
3. Maintain a caring and encouraging learning environment for students and adults.
3.1 Ensure safe, secure, healthy and positive environments that promote a sense of significance and belonging.
3.2 Provide systematic and reliable access to services that support social and emotional development.
