They collaborate with teachers, parents, and school personnel to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments for all students.

They improve teaching, learning, and socialization strategies based on their understanding of the psychology of learning environments. They also may evaluate the effectiveness of academic programs, prevention programs, behavior management procedures, and other services provided in the school setting.
