Warwick Community School and District Vision The Warwick Community Elementary School & District are committed to providing an innovative, engaging, and hands-on education to its students. Through nature-centered, place- and project-based learning, students study in and about the environment on our 25-acre woodland campus. Students learn to think critically and develop solutions for challenges faced both in Warwick and around the globe, particularly those related to the environment and social justice. Position Overview We are seeking a dedicated part-time Mathematics Interventionist to provide high-quality math instruction and targeted interventions for elementary students who require additional support in mathematics. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with classroom teachers, special educators, and support staff to design and deliver evidence-based mathematics instruction aligned with the latest interventionist approaches and our district’s educational philosophy. Key Responsibilities Provide small-group and individual mathematics instruction targeted to students’ specific learning needs using research-based, effective intervention practices such as visual models, hands-on manipulatives, explicit strategy instruction, Illustrative Mathematics, Building Thinking Classrooms, Bridges Intervention, SRSD, Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), Number Talks, and other evidence-based programs. Administer, interpret, and utilize math screening, diagnostic, and progress monitoring assessments, such as Universal Screener for Number Sense, to identify students in need of support and monitor growth. Analyze assessment data to design intervention plans that address foundational math concepts, problem-solving, fluency, and mathematical reasoning. Develop and implement lesson plans focusing on mathematical understanding, procedural fluency, conceptual development, and mathematical vocabulary. Build student understanding by engaging in concrete experiences, creating visual representations, and correctly manipulating abstract symbols. Maintain detailed records of student progress, instructional plans, and communications with staff and families. Participate in multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and student support team meetings to ensure coordinated math intervention and student data analysis. Model effective math strategies, differentiation, and inclusive practices for teachers and staff. Communicate proactively with parents and caregivers about their student’s growth, strategies for home support, and progress toward math benchmarks. When appropriate, integrate mathematics instruction with Warwick’s nature-based and place-based learning model. Engage in ongoing professional development related to math intervention, data-driven instruction, and culturally responsive teaching practices. Required Qualifications Teaching license for elementary education; teaching license for students with moderate disabilities preferred. Proven track record of improving students’ mathematical achievement through evidence-based interventions. Bachelor’s degree in Education, Mathematics, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
