Mathematics Implementation Coach; Part-Time

The Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) Department works to ensure outstanding instruction in every classroom. Sustainable implementation of high-quality curriculum is the most critical driver of that aim and supports the growth of teachers, administrators, counselors, and librarians at various stages throughout their careers. We aspire to ground our C&I work in a set of shared elements: an understanding of how students learn;

organization around adult learning principles to support teachers and school leaders; embedding opportunities to modify curriculum materials for specific classroom contexts or student needs; and a focus on continuous improvement to get better over time.
