Working hand-in-hand with educators, students, and parents, these coaches are pioneers in delivering positive behavior supports and interventions, setting the stage for a prosperous academic journey.

Just as plants thrive in the right conditions, students flourish in a nurturing, positive environment. Our coaches help sow the seeds for this very ethos.

Consistent Implementation

With our team of Climate Coaches dedicated to various schools, we ensure uniformity in the delivery and implementation of the PBIS framework across districts.

Evidence-Based Approach

By incorporating tried-and-tested practices, we are making informed, data-backed decisions for the betterment of our school communities.

Joining the Ranks

Our School Climate Coaches are more than just employees; they are ambassadors of change. Armed with a Master’s degree in fields like counseling, social work, or education, their expertise is coupled with exceptional interpersonal and organizational skills. Their work environment extends from home to school, community, and office settings, making every day a unique experience.

The way a school feels can greatly influence a student’s drive to learn and grow. By introducing the School Climate Coaches initiative, TLC takes a giant leap towards sculpting school environments that are conducive to both academic and personal growth.
