Overview:
The Math RTI Specialist is a certificated, classroom-adjacent role focused on accelerating student learning in mathematics across the secondary grades, with a primary emphasis on middle school. The specialist designs and delivers Tier 2/Tier 3 interventions (push-in, pull-out, and small-group), uses data to identify student needs, monitors progress, and collaborates closely with classroom teachers, counselors, Special Services, Title I/LAP, and the Culture Department.

As assigned based on student and program needs, this position may include teaching classroom-based mathematics (e.g., Algebra 1 at the middle level). This is not a supervisory position and does not include the evaluation of colleagues.

• Direct Intervention & Instruction: Provide push-in, pull-out, and small-group Tier 2/3 math interventions aligned to Washington State Learning Standards (CCSS-M), prioritizing middle school. Develop short-cycle intervention plans with explicit goals, frequency, and progress-monitoring measures (e.g., CBMs, common formative assessments). Maintain a predictable intervention schedule that preserves access to core instruction and minimizes loss of electives.
• Data-Driven Problem Solving: Use universal screeners, benchmark data, classroom assessments, and teacher referrals to identify students for support. Track, analyze, and report student progress; adjust interventions based on evidence of learning; maintain accurate service logs and documentation. Contribute data and next steps in MTSS/SST meetings.
• Collaboration & MTSS: Co-plan with classroom teachers to align interventions with core curriculum pacing and practices (e.g., CRA/CPA progression, explicit instruction, math discourse routines). Coordinate with Special Education and 504 teams so supports complement, and do not supplant, specially designed instruction or accommodations. Share resources, model strategies, and—when appropriate—co-teach targeted lessons (non-evaluative).
• Family & Community Partnership: Communicate regularly with students and families about goals, progress, and ways to support learning egrate culturally responsive and tribally aligned practices; partner with the Culture Department to honor CLS values and community knowledge.
• Professional Responsibilities: Engage in ongoing professional learning related to mathematics instruction, intervention, assessment, restorative practices, trauma-responsive approaches, and culturally sustaining pedagogy. Complete required reports and documentation accurately and on time; uphold confidentiality and all applicable federal, state, BIE, and district policies.

Note: The duties above are representative, not exhaustive. Responsibilities may be adjusted to meet student needs. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

• Valid Washington State Teaching Certificate appropriate for secondary or middle-level mathematics (e.g., Middle Level Mathematics, Mathematics 4–12). Candidates eligible for an appropriate limited/conditional certificate may be considered consistent with OSPI rules.
• Demonstrated successful experience teaching or supporting secondary mathematics.
• Proven skill in RTI/MTSS implementation, including progress monitoring, data analysis, and evidence-based math interventions.
• Commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and restorative practices serving Native students and families.

• Master’s degree in education, mathematics education, special education, or related field.
• Experience with Title I/LAP math interventions at the secondary level.
