  • Support schoolwide math initiatives and instructional priorities
  • Serve as a bridge between intervention and Tier 1 instruction

Schedule & Structure

• Teach CORE math intervention blocks during block days (up to ~10 blocks/week)
• Utilize non-block days (e.g., Monday/Friday) for:
  • Push-in support
  • Co-planning
  • Coaching and modeling

Qualifications

• Valid teaching certification (Math)
• Experience teaching middle school math (Grades 6–8 strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated success improving student achievement in math
• Strong understanding of:
  • Data-driven instruction
  • Intervention strategies
  • Conceptual math teaching

Preferred Skills & Mindsets

• Deep belief that all students can achieve at high levels
• Ability to translate data into actionable instruction
• Skill in building strong relationships with students and staff
• Ability to balance direct student support and adult coaching
• Strong organization and progress-monitoring systems

Key Outcomes for Success

• Increased percentage of students meeting math growth and proficiency goals
• Reduction in students in lowest performance bands
• Improved mastery of priority standards (especially conceptual standards)
• Stronger Tier 1 math instruction across classrooms

This role is a high-impact instructional position designed to ensure students receive:
