What is the RTLB service

RTLB are trained specialist teachers who work with schools and kura so they are able to meet a broad range of learning, wellbeing, and behaviour related needs. The RTLB service is designed to be well connected to schools to make it easier to respond to local needs.

RTLB work with schools and students in a variety of ways. They may work with:

  • individual students and their whānau | families
  • groups of students
  • individual teachers
  • a whole school or groups of schools.

Accessing support from the RTLB service

Talk to your school's liaison RTLB or your local cluster manager to discuss a request-for-support. Requests are made by schools and kura through an online portal.

You can find your local RTLB service on the RTLB Online website. You can also email us directly with any questions about the service.

How the RTLB service is run

In each cluster a lead school manages the service on behalf of all schools in the cluster. The lead school's board is responsible for governing and managing the cluster. They employ the RTLB and cluster manager and manage cluster funds.

RTLB are itinerant but they may be physically located in a lead school or a host school within the cluster.
