Description

 Guided by The Oaks Academy’s core values, the Lower School Math Interventionist provides targeted, evidence-based mathematics instruction to students identified as at-risk through universal screening and progress monitoring data. This position delivers small-group and individual intervention at Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels within The Oaks Academy’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework, addressing skill gaps in number sense, computation, and mathematical reasoning across grade levels. The Interventionist works as a member of the MTSS team, using data to drive decisions and ensuring every student receives the support needed to access grade-level mathematics. 

Responsibilities

• Administer, score, and interpret universal screening and diagnostic assessments to identify students in need of Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention
• Conduct error analysis and skill-gap diagnostics to pinpoint specific mathematical learning needs and inform targeted instruction
• Implement progress monitoring at a frequency appropriate to intervention tier and use data to make timely instructional decisions
• Maintain complete and organized records of all screener data, diagnostic findings, intervention plans, and progress monitoring results
• Design and deliver structured, research-validated math intervention in small groups and individually, utilizing approved curriculum and evidence-based instructional routines
• Adjust pacing, grouping, and instructional focus in direct response to ongoing progress monitoring data
• Partner with lead teachers to ensure alignment between intervention content and core classroom instruction
• Participate actively in MTSS team meetings to review screening and progress monitoring results, contribute to placement decisions, and document team-agreed intervention plans
• Collaborate with school leaders and the MTSS team to coordinate supports, manage caseloads, and facilitate smooth transitions back to core instruction when students meet established benchmarks

Skills, Knowledge and Abilities

• Deep knowledge of foundational mathematics content across kindergarten through fifth grade 
• Understanding of how students develop mathematical thinking and where common skill gaps emerge across the developmental continuum
• Familiarity with MTSS frameworks, including the structures and expectations of Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention
