Description
Job Summary Newcastle Middle School is seeking a highly qualified, dynamic, and enthusiastic educator to serve as the In-School Intervention (ISI) Coordinator. This role is pivotal in maintaining a productive school climate by managing student behavior through a restorative and educational lens rather than a purely punitive one. The Coordinator will oversee the daily operations of the ISI classroom, providing academic support and behavioral guidance to students assigned to the program.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities Behavior Management: Implement and maintain a structured, quiet, and disciplined environment for students assigned to ISI.
Academic Support: Assist students with classroom assignments provided by their regular teachers to ensure they do not fall behind during their placement.
Intervention & Mentoring: Utilize evidence-based behavior management strategies to help students identify triggers and develop coping mechanisms.
Administrative Reporting: Maintain accurate records of student attendance, behavior logs, and completed assignments.
Collaboration: Work closely with the Assistant Principal, school counselors, and classroom teachers to coordinate student transitions and support plans.
Qualifications & Requirements Education: Valid Oklahoma Teaching Certificate preferred (though the system notes this as a "Support Position," a certification helps with "Instructional Support" classification).
Experience: Proven experience in classroom management or student behavioral intervention.
Skills: Exceptional communication skills, patience, and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
Legal: Must be authorized to work in the United States and pass a standard criminal background check as required by the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
