Math Intervention Specialist (grades 7-12)

About the Role

The Math Intervention Specialist plays a critical role in secondary student academic success by designing, implementing, and coordinating targeted mathematics interventions for students in grades 7-12. This position identifies struggling learners, delivers evidence-based math instruction, and collaborates with content-area teachers to integrate effective numeracy, algebraic thinking, and problem-solving strategies across the curriculum. The goal is to bridge foundational gaps, rebuild mathematical confidence, and ensure all secondary students meet or exceed grade-level graduation and college/career readiness standards.

Responsibilities

• Provide targeted, evidence-based individual or small-group math interventions to secondary students performing below grade level, focusing on foundational algebra, proportional reasoning, functions, and multi-step problem-solving.
• Differentiate instructional materials and methods to meet diverse learning needs, including English Language Learners (ELL) and students with learning differences, while tracking progress and adjusting strategies based on data.
• Administer and interpret formal and informal secondary math assessments, diagnostic screeners, and benchmark data to shape Tier 2 and Tier 3 instructional focus and determine intervention placement.
• Maintain accurate records of student metrics and share data with administration, teachers, and parents.
• Partner with middle and high school math departments to co-plan differentiated lessons, align intervention strategies with core curriculum standards, lead professional development workshops, and model research-backed methodologies (e.g., explicit instruction, visual mathematical modeling).
• Maintain a home-school connection by providing parents and guardians with strategies and resources to support secondary math success at home and conducting regular meetings to discuss assessment results, graduation pathways, intervention plans, and student milestones.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Secondary Education, or a closely related field.
• Valid state teaching credential with an endorsement or certification in Secondary Mathematics (Grades 7-12) or as a Math Specialist/Interventionist.
• Minimum of 2-5 years of successful classroom teaching experience at the secondary level, with a proven track record of improving student mathematics outcomes and passing rates on state or district benchmarks.

Skills

• Deep understanding of secondary mathematical trajectories, including progression from arithmetic to proportional reasoning, algebraic thinking, geometry, and data analysis.
• Familiarity with evidence-based practices for adolescent learners, such as the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) framework adapted for abstract algebra, error analysis strategies, and scaffolded problem-solving.
• Proficiency in analyzing complex data sets to drive instructional choices, tier placement, and intervention exit strategies.
• Strong interpersonal and coaching skills to build trust, motivate disengaged adolescent learners, and collaborate effectively with secondary teachers and parents.
• Excellent organizational, mathematical modeling, and time-management abilities.
• Proficient in digital math platforms, graphing utilities, and adaptive learning tools tailored for secondary students (e.g., IXL Math, Desmos, DeltaMath, MathXL, i-Ready, ALEKS).
• Experienced with student information systems (SIS) and data analytics platforms (e.g., NWEA MAP, Renaissance Star Math, PowerSchool, Illuminate Education) for tracking benchmarks, credit deficiency risk, and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) growth.
• Skilled in navigating and managing instructional workflows via Google Classroom, Canvas, or Schoology.
• Proficient in productivity suites (Google Workspace, Microsoft Office) for generating compliance reports, tracking data trends, and creating professional development presentations.
