About The Position

Achievement Network (ANet) is a national nonprofit dedicated to providing instructional tools, coaching, and partnership to schools and districts to advance educational equity and improve student learning. Our work centers on cultivating strong instructional leadership, deepening use of high-quality materials, and building sustainable systems that support great teaching for all students. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with educators, honoring their expertise while helping them navigate the complexity of instruction, data, and curriculum implementation. The Instructional Coach – ELA & Math supports partner elementary schools in strengthening foundational literacy and early mathematics instruction. This role is ideal for experienced elementary educators or instructional leaders with content expertise in both ELA and math who want meaningful, school-facing work within a structured 30-hour fixed-term schedule. This is a fixed-term W2 role, scoped intentionally at approximately 30 hours per week. Hours may fluctuate slightly from week to week based on partner needs, coaching cadence, and school schedules, while remaining aligned to a 30-hour weekly average. Renewal of the role is based on district renewals, scope of work, and organizational priorities. This role requires regular, in-person coaching at partner schools estimated at every other week. During on-site coaching weeks, coaches are typically in schools approximately five days per week. Travel needs may vary based on the assigned school portfolio and scheduling requirements.
