• Maintain accurate records of student progress, grades, and fieldwork documentation.
• Communicate regularly and professionally with students, program faculty, and field placement partners.
• Ensure compliance with program prerequisites, GPA requirements, and state-mandated clearances.
• Demonstrate expertise in elementary mathematics instruction and/or training of teachers in mathematics instruction.
• Contribute to a supportive, inclusive classroom environment that prepares students to work with diverse learners.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Master’s degree in Mathematics Education, or a closely related field, required; doctorate preferred.
• Current teaching certification in Early Childhood, Elementary, or Math Specialist preferred.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of successful PK–12 classroom teaching experience in Elementary Mathematics Instruction.
