What is a
R.E.C.E.S.S. Coach?
A R.E.C.E.S.S. Coach is essential in promoting a positive and conducive learning environment. These coaches specialize in working with dysregulated students using the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. Our trained mentors integrate restorative practices such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, active listening, and physical movement activities to de-escalate disruptive behaviors effectively. The ultimate goal is to reintegrate students into the classroom environment smoothly, equipping them with improved emotional regulation skills.
