Family Solutions & Medford, OR School DistrictStudent Behavior Support Specialist
Sep. 2013 - Jun. 2014Medford, Oregon AreaWorked with a team to create and implement a Student Success Program at all elementary school sites in the Medford Oregon School District. Worked with a variety of community programs and resources to provide personal support plans for students in both general education and special education programs that fostered positive communication between teachers, parents, and administration. Successfully maintained a caseload of over 100 students at three different elementary sites in Medford, Oregon while promoting student behavioral growth and academic progress. Met with students on a daily basis to decrease mild to severe behavior concerns that included cases of harassment, physical aggression, vandalism, weapon use/possession, and threats to self and others in addition to negative classroom behaviors such as inappropriate language, non-compliance, and off-task behavior. Increased positive student behaviors by decreasing major referrals at three elementary school sites, of over 100 student caseload, by as much as 52% and minor referrals by as much as 58%. Regularly met with parents and administration to inform on individual student progress and address further areas of concern to promote parent involvement in student success.
