The Math Instructional Coach will support early childhood educators in the greater Los Angeles area and surrounding regions, including Riverside and San Bernardino. The role focuses on helping teachers provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate mathematics experiences for young children through classroom observation, live modeling, coaching, feedback, and professional development. The coach will help educators develop children’s foundational mathematical understanding through play, exploration, problem-solving, and classroom conversations, while tailoring coaching to schools, teachers, and implementation stages. The role involves approximately 30–50% travel to schools and districts.
