Essex Westford School District (EWSD) has an anticipated opportunity for two passionate educators to join the team at Founders Memorial School beginning in the 2024-2025 school year as a Response to Intervention Teacher/Team Coaches.

The RTI Coach plays a pivotal role in enhancing instructional practices, with an impact on all students' learning in a school setting. This position aligns with the RTI at Work and PLC at Work practices, the 5D Framework, and the EWSD RTI Framework to provide comprehensive support to teachers, collaborative teams, and other staff in all aspects of Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 instruction and interventions.

*Internal candidates only need to provide a statement of intent to principals*

EWSD is committed to considering out-of-state candidates who are eligible to hold a Vermont educator license but do not yet hold a license in this state.

Our district vision is: "Growing hearts and minds, for a better today and tomorrow: every day, every way, every one."

EWSD is committed to building a culturally diverse and inclusive environment. Successful candidates must be committed to working effectively with diverse community populations and are expected to strengthen such capacity if hired.
