Entry Points (EP) is an elementary math exploration program that fosters positive math mindsets for students through creative challenges and collaborative problem-solving. EP is part of BEAM’s new national initiative to provide access to advanced mathematics to students from low-income and historically marginalized communities nationwide. BEAM provides a curriculum of activities and pedagogical support for teachers, and gives all EP students accounts on Beast Academy (an online math platform).
The EP program is run by teachers in their classrooms or as afterschool clubs, for students in 4th and 5th grades. Teachers meet with students weekly for 40 minutes to run activities and games from the BEAM curriculum, and give students time to use Beast Academy (demo here) when possible. As the program grows in the coming years, we plan to allow interested students to continue to other BEAM programs after 5th grade.
Entry Points coaches have a dual role of developing teachers’ math knowledge and pedagogy, and supporting teachers as they develop their students’ positive math identities. Coaches also serve as the main point of contact between teachers and BEAM.
This role is currently seeking a coach who can support teachers working in the Mountain and Central timezones.

Coaches will be closely supported by the Entry Points team. Coaches’ hours are determined by the number of schools they work with and your level of engagement: we anticipate 5 hours/month for regular meetings and emails plus 3 hours/month per teacher. A coach that works with 6 teachers can expect to work 6 hours per week. Coaches with flexible schedules are preferred, as partner schools are in various time zones and teachers may ask to meet during school hours. We encourage you to spend more time supporting the school when it feels genuinely useful to your partner teacher.
For coaches who did not support Entry Points last year, we will ask you to take up to 10 paid hours to explore the online Beast Academy platform as part of your onboarding.
This position has a start date of July 29, 2024. Compensation will be hourly and starts at $35/hour as an independent contractor.
Applications will be accepted through May 20, 2024.
