Mathematical Reasoning and Numeracy Coach

Mathematical Reasoning & Numeracy Coach

The District Mathematical Reasoning & Numeracy Coach provides district-level leadership focused on strengthening mathematical reasoning, modeling, problem-solving stamina, and conceptual understanding across grades K12. This role is distinct from grade-band mathematics coaching positions. While content standards alignment remains essential, this position focuses specifically on developing mathematical thinking habits that transfer across grade levels and disciplines. The District Mathematical Reasoning & Numeracy Coach supports district instructional priorities by: Increasing cognitive demand in mathematics tasks Strengthening mathematical modeling practices Building student stamina for multi-step problem solving Supporting conceptual understanding over procedural fluency alone Promoting numeracy across content areas where appropriate Calibrating leadership's understanding of mathematical rigor This is a non-supervisory position dedicated to instructional capacity-building, modeling, coaching, and system alignment.

The following statements describe the general nature and scope of work performed in this role. This is not an exhaustive list of responsibilities:

• Provide district-wide leadership in mathematical reasoning and modeling practices
• Support the implementation of high-cognitive-demand math tasks aligned to modeling standards
• Lead coaching cycles focused on conceptual depth and problem-solving stamina
• Model instructional strategies that promote reasoning, justification, and transfer
• Collaborate with K12 gradeband leaders to ensure vertical alignment of mathematical practices
• Analyze math performance data to identify reasoning and modeling gaps
• Support the development of tasks that increase productive struggle and mathematical discourse
• Facilitate professional learning aligned to mathematical practices and modeling expectations
• Partner with instructional leaders to calibrate expectations for mathematical rigor
• Participate in Instructional Leadership Summits to support calibration of cognitive demand
• Support cross-disciplinary numeracy conversations when appropriate
• Document coaching interactions and monitor impact trends

Competencies: To perform the job successfully, an individual should demonstrate the following competencies:

• Mathematical Expertise: Deep knowledge of mathematical practices, modeling standards, and conceptual mathematics instruction.
• Cognitive Rigor: Strong understanding of cognitive demand and task analysis in mathematics.
• Coaching & Adult Learning: Skilled in facilitating professional learning and coaching cycles.
• Vertical Alignment Thinking: Ability to connect K12 mathematical development and progression.
• Data Literacy: Ability to analyze performance trends and identify reasoning gaps.
• Professionalism: Maintains integrity, confidentiality, and alignment to district priorities.
