Provide Tier II and/or select Tier III SEL skill development interventions to support staff within the building. Maintain professional practice and development by staying current with emerging approaches to improving SEL for students, staff, and families. Gather, track, and analyze data to monitor student progress toward goals. Work independently, with minimal supervision and guidance, in performing all assigned responsibilities efficiently and accurately.
