The Challenge & The Impact
The Refocus Room is used to support students who have struggled to meet behavioral expectations and you will regularly work with students who are frustrated, disengaged, or facing complex challenges. This role requires the ability to rapidly form strong, trusting relationships with students, de-escalating tense situations with calm authority. One of the main aims is to maintain a quiet, highly structured, and productive atmosphere so that students can seamlessly continue their academic work.
