Math Coach

Primary Function:The goal of the Math Interventionist is to assist scholars who have been identified as at risk with math intervention to provide a continuum of support and help them get on grade level. The interventionist develops materials and lesson plans, conducts classroom instruction and evaluates and assesses scholar performance. The interventionist lesson plans with math teachers weekly and provides instructional strategies.

The interventionist meets with parents, interprets scholar progress, and informs parents/guardians about scholar strengths, weaknesses, and progress by providing assessment results (including NWEA MAP, Smarter Balanced IABs and other assessments). The interventionist collaborates with identified teachers who share the at-risk scholars served and develops a transition plan between the intervention classroom and the regular classroom. The interventionist will attend all SRBI and data team meetings.

The interventionist keeps intervention and progress reporting data of all scholars serviced; logs of all scholar service hours and provides a semester report of growth and implemented interventions to principals. The interventionist assists with planning building-based professional development and delivery. The interventionist assists with math-related school events.
