About The Position

Virtual Arkansas seeks a highly motivated Math Interventionist to help students who struggle with mathematics develop understanding, confidence, and independence. This full-time position serves students in Arkansas ATLAS-tested mathematics courses from 7th-grade mathematics through Geometry for the remainder of the 2026-2027 school year. The interventionist provides targeted individual and small-group virtual instruction, working with teachers of record and local school facilitators to identify learning gaps, develop intervention plans, and monitor student progress. Virtual Arkansas is Arkansas’s state virtual program. It partners with local schools to provide course opportunities that might not otherwise be available locally. It is not an online school or a diploma-granting institution. The program is implemented through a partnership between the Arkansas Department of Education and the Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives, and teachers may be assigned to different instructional services based on organizational needs. The position is hired through the Arch Ford Education Cooperative. Teachers work from a home office in Arkansas at a location with robust internet connectivity, in accordance with the Virtual Arkansas Telework Agreement. Periodic travel and attendance at scheduled in-person meetings may be required. The salary is based on the 190-day Certified Salary Schedule and is calculated using the remaining workdays in the school year and the employee’s daily rate. Salary is commensurate with experience and education and corresponds to the Virtual Arkansas 190-contract-day salary schedule. Applicants currently under contract with another district for the 2026-2027 academic year will not be interviewed.

A minimum of a B.A. or B.S. is required.
Successful mathematics teaching experience is required.
Science of Reading level: Awareness.
Strong knowledge of Arkansas mathematics standards and ATLAS mathematics assessments relevant to 7th-grade mathematics through Geometry, including the reasoning and conceptual understanding students must demonstrate.

Ability to identify where understanding breaks down, break concepts into manageable steps, and check understanding before advancing.
Belief that all students can learn and succeed in mathematics, demonstrated through high expectations, empathy, patience, and responsive instruction.
Initiative and motivation to serve students at risk of academic failure, with persistence in evaluating and refining approaches when students continue to struggle.
Commitment to deep understanding, reasoning, and accuracy while building fluency without making speed the primary measure of mathematical ability.
