What is a Mathematics Coach? Math coaches are teaching professionals who are creative problem-solvers and love working with children. They work directly with students within their classrooms on grade-level concepts and skills that are being taught (i.e., Tier 1). Their daily tasks involve working individually with students on lessons designed for instruction on priority skills and monitoring their progress toward mastery. The Math coaches work together as a dynamic team of professionals—including a new team of reading coaches—and provide real-time, high-quality instruction to individual students based on timely data. They collaborate with classroom teachers and within a professional learning community to assess and analyze priority skills, and then work independently to develop and administer short instructional interventions with individual students that lead to content mastery. Coaches navigate through varying levels of uncertainty and are solution-focused. This is because they are responsible for collaborating with classroom teachers and grade-level teams to make decisions on priority skills, obtain timely data on these skills, and then translate challenging concepts into learning opportunities for individual students. While the classroom teachers look to Math coaches for increased support for students, students count on the coaches to support learning concepts that are challenging to them. Education/ExperienceMath coaches are elementary-level certified teachers (B-2 & 1-6). Coaches come from a variety of backgrounds and levels of experience, however no full-time teaching experience is expected. With professional development at the core of the framework, the position is designed specifically to support novice teachers in learning the craft of teaching in a nurturing and professional system. The coaching position also affords professionals with more experience with an opportunity to hone their instructional skills in a supportive environment as they continue to make a meaningful impact on student learning.
