ABOUT THIS ROLE

At HOPE, we do not make decisions based on gut instinct, we make decisions based on data. Our 2026 2028 Strategic Plan names "being Data-Centered" as one of our four strategic priorities because we believe that every scholar deserves a school where the adults around them are paying attention, measuring progress, and adjusting support in real time based on measurable outcomes. But data alone does not change outcomes, what changes outcomes is a system that turns data into action. That system is MTSS, and the person who builds, leads, and sustains it is the MTSS Coordinator. The MTSS Coordinator at HOPE is the architect of our Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework, a comprehensive, school-wide approach to identifying and supporting the academic, behavioral, attendance, and social-emotional needs of every scholar. This role provides leadership across the entire organization, working collaboratively with and holding accountable school leaders, instructional coaches, interventionists, classroom teachers, SPED staff, and the Impact Coach team to ensure that support systems are aligned, interventions are effective, and no scholar falls through the cracks. Reporting directly to the Chief Academic Officer, the MTSS Coordinator is the person our school depends on to connect the dots, between data and instruction, between need and intervention, between a scholar's struggle and the team of adults who are ready to help. This role sits at the intersection of HOPE's Data-Centered and Radical Growth strategic priorities, because academic achievement, scholar growth, and proficiency gains are only possible when we have clear, reliable systems for identifying needs, delivering targeted support, and monitoring progress with fidelity. The ideal MTSS Coordinator is a systems thinker, a data champion, and a collaborative leader who understands that the most important work in a school is the work that makes sure every single scholar is seen, supported, and set up to succeed.
