ABOUT OUR DISTRICT
The Syracuse City School District is undergoing a new phase of innovation and transformation with the goal of ensuring that all students graduate high school with the skills needed to be ready for college and career. For Syracuse, all means all - including students who fall behind or have been considered "hard to serve" for a host of reasons. The School Board and Syracuse community have charged the Superintendent with improving student achievement, and he is seeking a dedicated team of school leaders and teachers to partner with him in moving the district toward its goals.
The Syracuse City School District represents 34 schools and 4 alternative education programs, serving 19,000+ students Pre‑K‑12 of whom 77% qualify for free or reduced price lunch, 18% are served by the Office of Special Education and 78% are students of color.
The Syracuse City School District Strategic Plan along with the Mathematics Action Plan outline high expectations for all of our students and teachers. The District‑wide Elementary Mathematics Coach will be expected to be a steward of the district strategic plan and the mathematics action plan by providing instructional support and coaching for teachers and instructional coaches in our K‑5 classrooms as they work to implement the Common Core State Standards.
The primary role of the district‑wide mathematics coach is to work with teachers and coaches to support best practices in utilizing our curricular materials and intervention materials, provide an analysis of grade level trends in instruction and use this data as well as student achievement data to create quality differentiated professional development opportunities that will best support instruction in the classroom.
