  • Oversee school attendance and school engagement efforts for students with low attendance to support improved school engagement 
  • Provide proactive outreach to parents and/or scholars of target populations to facilitate positive engagement in school
  • Counsel students individually and in groups with a focus on helping students to develop school adjustment strategies
  • Create and lead and/or facilitate social skill groups for students who may benefit from pro-social skill development
  • Develop and lead programs in the school community such as a peer mediation program, substance abuse prevention education, bullying prevention, and positive identity education.
  • Attend IEP meetings, complete IEP goals and progress reports for students with social-emotional goals
