    RRT logoRRT is a district wide Tier III Behavioral Support resource for school based teams housed in Student Success and Health. RRT  partners with school based staff to stabilize tier III behaviors, develop student centered plans for intervention and skills building and help school based staff strengthen tiered supports for successful student experiences in their neighborhood schools.

    We seek to:

    • Create a culturally responsive and trauma-informed referral experience for the referred student by
    • Modeling and coaching(for/with) school staff on the implementation of tiered interventions, best practices and resources for student growth to
    • Increase the capacity and confidence of school teams to sustainably replicate tiered strategies, tools and interventions for any student in their school community.
