Social Emotional Behavior Mental Health (SEBMH) Regional Leads Being Added Next School Year

Heartland AEA is pleased to announce the addition of an equivalent of 1.0 FTE per region to serve as Social Emotional Behavior Mental Health (SEBMH) Regional Leads, beginning in the 2019-20 school year. Under the direction of the Director of Special Programs and the assigned regional director, the SEBMH Regional Lead will partner with districts and buildings in implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). 

The SEBMH Regional Lead will collaborate with the district and/or buildings in a variety of assistance activities such as facilitating professional learning, consulting, coaching, modeling, observing and providing feedback and collecting and/or interpreting data. The addition of the SEBMH Regional Lead will provide a much-needed support to our districts in enhancing their services and supports to all students in building a safe, healthy and caring foundation for learning, as well as providing coaching and consultation in the areas of general behavior, social-emotional learning, college and career readiness skills and mental health. While they will provide services at all tiers within MTSS, the SEBMH Regional Lead will focus heavily on providing supports at the foundational level and the universal and targeted tiers.  


Some regions have staff who currently serve in a similar role/job function. The addition of the FTE in each region will increase equity throughout the Agency to support our partners in this critical work. If you have questions regarding how this position is being assigned in your region, contact your regional director.
