Math Interventionist; K-7

Job Description

Worcester Cultural Academy is seeking a skilled and data-driven Math Interventionist to join our student support team. In this role, you will deliver targeted, evidence-based Tier 2 math instruction to students who have been identified as needing additional support beyond core classroom instruction. You will work in close partnership with classroom teachers, the special education team, and school leadership to ensure every student has access to the mathematical thinking skills they need to succeed.

This is a role for someone who brings both pedagogical expertise and genuine curiosity about what's getting in the way of a student's progress - and who knows how to use data to drive instruction rather than just document it. If you are energized by working closely with students in small groups, building relationships with teachers as a thought partner, and seeing measurable growth over time, we want to hear from you.

This role contributes to WCA's commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in all student and staff interactions.

Worcester Cultural Academy (WCA) is a growing charter public school that opened in August 2023 with a vision of becoming a K-8 community. We launched as a K-4 school and have added a grade every year since - this fall we welcome our first 7th graders. As an EL (Expeditionary Learning) Education school, we believe in hands-on learning that challenges students to grow in three dimensions: mastery of knowledge and skills, character, and high-quality work.

We partner with organizations like the Eco Tarium, Worcester Art Museum, and Hanover Theater and anchor our curriculum in Learning Expeditions that make learning meaningful and real.

We want to be honest with prospective candidates: this is energizing, demanding work. Our expectations for student growth are high, our school is still building its systems and culture, and we ask everyone on our team to show up fully for students and each other. If that kind of challenge excites you, we want to hear from you.
