Math Instructional Specialist (26-27)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections are present.
We have:
- Intro about Alpha: mission, community, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". But they said "About the role" as example. We could use "About the role" to describe the position and organization.
- Responsibilities: list of duties for Math Specialist: develop lesson plans, demonstrate instruction, co-teach, support development, coach teachers, implement curriculum, analyze data, plan interventions, collaborate, partner, reduce disparities, plan professional learning, maintain communication, participate in PD.
- Requirements/Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree, valid Clear California teaching credential - Single Subject: Math, subject matter expertise demonstrated by at least five years teaching experience, experience coaching instructional support staff/teachers on math interventions, commitment to working with underserved communities.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed separate; could be implied but we can omit if not specific.
- Benefits: list: Competitive salary commensurate with experience (but we should not include Pay section if only says "competitive salary commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? Actually they gave a scale: Math Instructional Specialist scale starts at $97,000 and increases based on years of teaching experience beyond year five and years of experience at Alpha Public Schools. That's specific enough for Pay section. Also health benefits, retirement matching, PTO, continuous education fund, parental leave, employee assistance, relocation assistance.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus we should include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Requirements), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also "Skills" if we can extract but not needed.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Job title is Math Specialist? Actually "Math Specialist". We'll not put that as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, contact email, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like numbers, specifics.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's craft.
Section About the role: prose describing Alpha, mission, community, role purpose.
We can combine intro paragraphs.
Responsibilities: list bullet points.
Qualifications: list bullet points.
Benefits: list bullet points.
Pay: maybe a paragraph stating scale starts at $97,000 etc.
We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience" as filler; but we have actual scale.
Let's extract exact text:
From posting:
"Competitive salary commensurate with experience (as well as compounding retention incentives for returning Alpha teachers)Math Instructional Specialist scale starts at $97,000 and increases based on years of teaching experience beyond year five and years of experience at Alpha Public Schools."
So we can combine: Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus compounding retention incentives for returning Alpha teachers. Math Instructional Specialist scale starts at $97,000 and increases based on years of teaching experience beyond year five and years of experience at Alpha Public Schools.
We'll put that in Pay section as a paragraph.
Benefits list:
- Health benefits plans for medical, vision, and dental insurance coverage for staff and their families
- Retirement matching options
- Paid time off for holidays and breaks (6 weeks throughout the school year in addition to 6 weeks during the summer)
- Continuous Education fund to support continued external professional development
- Generous paternity/maternity leave benefits including 4 weeks of paid parental leave in addition to the state and federal leave allowances
- Employee Assistance Program that provides access to professional services for workplace, life, and wellbeing support and services
- Relocation assistance for teammates moving from 250+ miles away
Also maybe "Competitive salary" already in Pay.
Now Responsibilities list: need to capture each bullet from the posting.
Let's extract responsibilities from the posting:
"The Math Specialist will lead and support efforts to improve mathematics instruction and student achievement across 3rd-8th grades. This role involves direct instruction, facilitating curriculum adoption, providing professional development, coaching teachers, and analyzing student data to implement research-based instructional strategies. The ideal candidate will collaborate with educators, school leaders, and families to foster a culture of rigorous, student-centered, and equitable math learning. Alpha Instructional Specialists are expected to:"
Then list:
- Develop lesson plans and supplementary materials to teach standards based math curricula for half the school day, 2-3 courses per week based on student needs
- Demonstrate exemplary, research-based math instruction through modeling, coaching, collaborative lesson planning, and co-teaching.
- Co-teach math lessons and model instructional best practices for classroom teachers
- Support development of Math Academic Interventionists in small group instruction, data analysis, and best practices for math interventions in partnership with school leaders
- In partnership with School Leaders coach and develop math teachers
- Support in the implementation of selected mathematics curricula, instructional strategies, and assessments with teachers, principals, coaches, and families.
- Analyze data from diagnostic assessments, exams, formative assessments, and summative evaluations to identify trends and gaps in student achievement.
- Plan small and large group interventions to address individual student needs using evidence-based strategies
- Collaborate with teacher leaders to refine pacing plans and create formative and summative assessments.
- Partner with school leadership teams to assess math performance on the CA Dashboard and implement data-driven strategies to drive significant growth within the school's renewal cycle.
- Collaborate with assistant principals, instructional coaches, teachers, and families to intentionally reduce disparities in opportunities for historically marginalized populations, including ELL students, students of color, and students with disabilities.
- Plan and facilitate professional learning aligned to key math priorities
- Maintain open lines of communication with staff, families, and the greater Alpha community
- Participate in regular and on-going professional development, observations, and feedback sessions
We need to keep all.
Now Qualifications list:
- A Bachelor’s degree
- A valid Clear California teaching credential- Single Subject: Math (or a Clear out of state credential equivalent)
- Subject matter expertise on math pedagogy, curriculum, and assessments demonstrated by at least five (5) years of teaching experience
- Experience (formally or informally) coaching instructional support staff and/or teachers on math interventions
- A commitment to working with students in traditionally underserved communities.
- Approximately 80% of Alpha’s students are from under-resourced communities and will be the first in their families to go to college. The majority of our students are Latinx and/or Vietnamese. (This is more about student demographics; maybe could be part of About the role.)
We could include that as part of About the role.
Now About the role prose: combine mission, community, role purpose.
Let's craft:
Alpha Public Schools is a free, TK-12 public charter school network of four schools in East San José, founded by families to provide stronger academics and support. Serving approximately 1,900 scholars, Alpha is committed to preparing students for college and career through safe, inclusive, student-centered learning environments. The Math Specialist will lead and support efforts to improve mathematics instruction and student achievement across 3rd‑8th grades, collaborating with educators, leaders, and families to foster rigorous, equitable math learning.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can include the founding by families, mission, etc.
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, contact email, equal opportunity statement, etc.
