Math Instructional Coach

Innovamat • Riverside, CA

11h • $90,000 - $110,000

About The Position

Innovamat is hiring a Math Instructional Coach based in the greater Los Angeles area, including surrounding regions such as Riverside and San Bernardino. The role focuses on improving early childhood mathematics instruction by working directly with teachers in classrooms and supporting them in creating rich, developmentally appropriate mathematical experiences for young children.

The coach helps educators move beyond rote memorization toward deeper mathematical understanding through play, exploration, problem-solving, and meaningful conversations. The role includes observing and modeling instruction, providing feedback, and designing personalized professional development journeys suited to each school, teacher, and stage of implementation. The coach also partners with school leaders, builds a regional community of early childhood math educators, and supports implementation across schools and districts. Travel is approximately 30–50% of the role.

Innovamat is an educational organization founded in Barcelona in 2017. It provides a research-based mathematics program from Early Childhood through Secondary Education that integrates curriculum, teacher training, assessment, and intervention. The organization operates in 9 countries, partners with more than 31,000 teachers across over 3,300 schools, and reaches more than 720,000 students. It reports independently validated efficacy data and was the first non-American organization to pass the California State Board of Education adoption process for a core math curriculum.
