Job Description:

The middle school interventionist will provide targeted, small-group support to students struggling with core literacy and numeracy, using data to personalize instruction in specific skills like phonics, comprehension, or math concepts, rather than replacing core teaching but supplementing it in a focused, research-based way to build foundational skills and confidence.

• Deliver intensive reading and/or math interventions to individuals or small groups.
• Use diagnostic, formative, and summative data to pinpoint student needs and track growth.

• Work with classroom teachers to align interventions with core curriculum.
• Regularly assess students to adjust strategies and ensure effectiveness.
• Maintain detailed records of student performance.
• Report student progress findings to teachers, administrators, and parents.
• Demonstrate effective intervention techniques for general education staff.
• Participate in school-level planning and meetings.
• Assist in planning and executing parent involvement activities related to Title I goals.
• Help maintain documentation for federal Title I monitoring.

Essential Skills & Qualities:

• Ability to communicate effectively with students, parents, and staff.
• Possess strong organizational skills to maintain accurate student records and create an intervention schedule based upon students' needs.
• Ability to analyze and interpret student assessment results and implement instructional plans based on results.
• Knowledge of effective intervention strategies.
• Experience working with at-risk students preferred.
