What is a positive behavior coach?

Positive Behavior Coaches are professionals who work with students, educators, and sometimes families to promote positive behaviors and create supportive learning environments. They use evidence-based strategies to help individuals develop social, emotional, and behavioral skills, often within schools or community settings. Their role includes coaching teachers, modeling interventions, monitoring progress, and collaborating with other support staff to prevent and address challenging behaviors. Positive Behavior Coaches play a key part in implementing programs like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
