The responsibilities for the position include:

• Provide intensive and targeted technical assistance to state education agencies, districts, schools, and leadership teams to strengthen the implementation of evidence-based mathematics intervention within MTSS frameworks.
• Design and deliver professional learning, leadership coaching, implementation support, and communities of practice focused on mathematics intervention, data-based individualization (DBI), specially designed instruction (SDI), and MTSS implementation.
• Support educational systems in strengthening the essential components of MTSS, including screening, progress monitoring, multi-level prevention systems, and data-based decision making.
• Facilitate systems-level coaching with district and school leadership teams to support implementation planning, problem solving, continuous improvement, and sustainability of evidence-based practices.
• Develop implementation tools, coaching protocols, fidelity measures, professional learning resources, and technical assistance materials aligned with project goals and evidence-based frameworks.
• Provide expertise in mathematics intervention, intensive intervention, and supports for students with disabilities to inform technical assistance, research, product development, and implementation activities.
• Support implementation and evaluation efforts for federally funded projects, including development of measures, data collection activities, implementation studies, and interpretation of findings.
• Analyze and use implementation and student outcome data to inform coaching, guide decision making, and support continuous improvement efforts.
• Collaborate with researchers, developers, and project teams to translate research into practical tools and supports that improve educator implementation and student outcomes.
• Represent AIR in meetings and partnerships with national centers, state agencies, districts, professional organizations, and other stakeholders.
• Contribute to proposal development, business development efforts, and growth opportunities related to MTSS, mathematics intervention, special education, and implementation science.
• Lead project tasks and supervise junior staff, with increasing responsibility for project leadership and strategic direction.
