We are seeking a dedicated and collaborative MTSS Academic Interventionist to join our team.

Beyond direct student instruction, you will act as a key facilitator of our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework - facilitating student support meetings, managing data workflows, and tracking longitudinal student progress to ensure equitable academic outcomes for every learner.

• Differentiated instruction to address specific learning needs and adapt materials to maximize student engagement and success.
• Facilitate regular MTSS/SST (Student Support Team) meetings with teachers, administrators, and specialized staff to review student performance and identify appropriate interventions.
• Help classroom teachers interpret diagnostic data, select classroom-level (Tier
  1) strategies, and determine when Tier 2 or Tier 3 interventions are necessary.
• Act as a primary liaison between educators, support staff, and parents regarding academic intervention plans and student growth.
• Evaluate intervention efficacy regularly to determine whether students should transition back to core instruction, modify intervention strategies, or be referred for further evaluation.
• Deliver GCVS curriculum through virtual instruction aligned with Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
• Foster a virtual environment conducive to learning.
• Partner with parents and colleagues to manage course goals, curriculum, and materials that best benefit the individual needs of each student.
• Engage and nurture student learning and student relationships.
• Utilize data-driven instruction to adjust teaching strategies based on individual student performance and assessments.
• Promote a sense of belonging and community using district-approved platforms.
• Proactively engage students who may face barriers to participation in a remote setting.
• Maintain frequent and professional communication with parents/guardians regarding student milestones.

• Applicants residing in the Massachusetts area are strongly preferred, with the ability to travel to locations across the state and attend GCVS events as needed.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Education, Special Education, or a related field.
• Valid MA State Teaching Licensure in Education, Reading/Literacy Specialist, or Special Education.
• Demonstrated knowledge of the Science of Reading, Orton-Gillingham methods, or structured literacy principles.
• Deep familiarity with the MTSS framework, data-driven decision-making, and Tiered instruction models.
• Bachelor’s degree required;
  Master’s degree preferred.
• Experience:
  
  3-5 years of teaching experience preferred, with specific experience in middle school education.
• Technical Proficiency:
  Ability to quickly learn and navigate virtual platforms (e.g., Schoology, eSped, Power School, Google Suite, various teaching tools, etc.).
