About Acceleration Academies

At Acceleration Academies, we partner with school districts to support Graduation Candidates in earning their high school diploma through flexible scheduling, personalized learning, and a focus on outcomes. Our approach is designed to meet Graduation Candidates (Students) where they are and help them make meaningful progress toward graduation and long-term success. Every student deserves the chance to walk across the stage and experience the pride, relief, and sense of accomplishment that comes with it.

The Role
The Interventionist serves as a key member of the academy's Continuous Improvement Team and provides targeted academic, attendance, graduation-readiness, college readiness, and career readiness interventions for Graduation Candidates (GCs) in grades 9-12.

The Interventionist works closely with the Academic Support Coach, Content Coaches, Graduation Candidate Advocates (GCAs), School Counselor, Testing Coordinator, and academy leadership to identify barriers to success, implement individualized interventions, monitor progress, and improve student outcomes related to graduation, College and Career Readiness (CCR), attendance, and academic achievement.
