    • Assist with student mediation when needed.
    • Provide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) support to students.
    • Work with the PBIS/MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) staff to ensure that all students receive appropriate services across the tiers.

    • Good facilitation, consensus-building, and interpersonal skills.
    • Strong work ethic, initiative, creativity, willingness to learn, and ability to manage multiple tasks independently.
