     • Identify skill gaps
     • Monitor progress and adjust instruction
2. Intervention & Acceleration (WIN Block Support)
   • Support or co-facilitate WIN (What I Need) intervention blocks
   • Ensure intervention is:
     ○ Aligned to student need
     ○ Focused on accelerating growth, not just remediation
   • Track and analyze intervention impact on student outcomes
3. Instructional Coaching & Teacher Support

   • Provide support through:
     ○ Co-planning and lesson internalization
     ○ Modeling instructional strategies
     ○ Observation and feedback cycles
   • Focus coaching on:
     ○ Conceptual math instruction
     ○ Lesson Plan Internalization
     ○ Academic monitoring and student thinking
     ○ Increasing rigor and problem-solving opportunities
4. Data Analysis & Progress Monitoring
   • Analyze student performance across:
     ○ NWEA MAP Growth
     ○ Priority Standards (PSIC cycles)
     ○ Classroom assessments
   • Identify trends in:
     ○ Conceptual vs. procedural gaps
     ○ Student subgroup performance
   • Lead data conversations with teachers and leadership and support re-teach planning
5. Collaboration & Schoolwide Impact
   • Collaborate with:
     ○ Math Team
     ○ Instructional leadership team
     ○ Intervention staff
   • 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:

• High-quality grade-level instruction
• Targeted intervention skill support
• Consistent math instruction

The Math Boost Interventionist will serve as both a student-facing instructor and a teacher-facing
leader, driving improved outcomes in math across the school.
