Classroom Teacher - Middle School Math

Math Intervention Teacher

Great Oaks Charter School - Bridgeport | Middle School

Math Curriculum and Support

Our middle school uses Mid-School-Math, designed to engage students through multimedia and traditional methods, inclusive of a well-designed curriculum guide, pacing, and all required materials. Additionally, math teachers at the middle school have a non-evaluative support coach to assist with planning and delivery.

The Math Intervention Teacher works alongside the 8th grade math teacher daily during assigned math classes. During whole-group instruction, the Math Intervention Teacher will co-plan and co-teach lessons aligned to the grade-level curriculum. During small-group instructional time, the Math Intervention Teacher will be directly responsible for an identified group of students, providing targeted pull-out intervention aligned to the current unit of study and designed to increase student access to grade-level curriculum as the unit progresses.
