It refers to professionals who provide technical assistance, consultation, and coaching to those working in early childhood and school-age education. The goal is to improve the quality of care and learning experiences by offering guidance, encouragement, and tailored support to educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several states are now formalizing the role of RBPD specialists by developing credentialing and competency frameworks. These frameworks define the specialized role of the RBPD specialist and highlight the value of this career path, recognizing the importance of relationship-based support in the professional growth of educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alaska\u2019s New Four-Tiered RBPD Credential System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alaska has introduced a <strong>four-tiered RBPD Credential System<\/strong>, designed to help individuals progress in their careers while strengthening the overall quality of early childhood and school-age education across the state. <strong>The four tiers are progressive, meaning applicants must complete the first before moving to the next.&nbsp;<\/strong>The new system includes the following levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RBPD I: Technical Assistant Specialist<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry-level role focusing on providing technical assistance to early childhood and school-age educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RBPD II: Consultation Specialist<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher level that involves offering in-depth consultation services, helping professionals improve their practice through feedback and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RBPD III A: Practitioner\/Teacher Coach<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This role involves hands-on coaching and mentoring to support teachers in the classroom, promote best practices, and improve teaching effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RBPD III B: Program\/Administration Coach<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest level focused on working with programs and organizations to improve overall systems, strategies, and structures to support teachers and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.threadalaska.org\/seed\/career-pathways\/credentials\/rbpd-specialist-credential\">Visit the Alaska SEED RBPD webpage for more information.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources Available for RBPD Specialists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alaska SEED will begin accepting RBPD I \u2013 III applications in September 2025.
