The School Leadership Specialist is responsible for providing targeted, content-specific instructional support to campuses to ensure high-quality Tier 1 instruction, effective intervention, and improved student outcomes.

This role serves as the district's instructional problem solver by identifying why instruction is not producing desired student outcomes and providing immediate, job-embedded support to improve classroom practice. School Leadership Specialists work directly with teachers through modeling, coaching, co‑teaching, and instructional analysis to strengthen daily instruction while maintaining alignment with district curriculum and instructional expectations.

This position is not responsible for curriculum development, principal coaching, or system‑level MTSS leadership. Instead, the specialist provides direct classroom support that accelerates teacher effectiveness and student achievement.

  • Supporting teachers in delivering effective intervention instruction.
