Behavioral and Instructional Coaches
Behavioral/Instructional Coaches are available for collaboration and consultation to MVSEC programs and member district staff when requested. The purpose of this collaboration is to provide coaching support to assist the team in developing and implementing a comprehensive function-based support plan to enhance each student’s current educational placement. The collaboration is a long-term process that requires team meetings, on-site coaching, classroom observations and plan evaluation. In addition, the Behavioral/Instructional Coaches lead our Professional Development Team.
