About The Position

The Math Teacher (Online) position at Achieve is responsible for supporting students who require additional academic and motivational support to meet grade-level expectations and develop the skills necessary for long-term success. This role works directly with students, particularly those performing below grade level in mathematics, to strengthen executive functioning skills, support goal setting, and build student motivation and engagement with learning. Students identified for this specialized program remain rostered to their previous school with the goal being for them to return once executive functioning skills are mastered and academic progress is maintained. The program emphasizes team-building, executive functioning skills, resiliency, career interests, goal-setting and action planning, time management, and academic success.
