Middle School Math Coach; MAF

Math Achievement Fund (MAF) Middle School Math Coach

The Math Achievement Fund (MAF) Middle School Math Coach serves as an instructional leader dedicated to improving mathematics achievement for all students in grades 6-8. The coach works collaboratively with teachers, administrators, and district leadership to support the implementation of high-quality mathematics instruction aligned to Kentucky Academic Standards and evidence-based instructional practices.

The Math Coach provides job-embedded professional learning, facilitates Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), supports Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) implementation, analyzes student achievement data, and works directly with teachers to improve instructional effectiveness. At least fifty percent (50%) of the coach's time will be spent in classrooms engaged in coaching activities, modeling instruction, co-teaching, observation, and providing feedback to teachers. The Math Coach serves in a non-evaluative role designed to build teacher capacity and improve student achievement in mathematics.
