POSITION FUNCTION/PURPOSE
The Team Reach Teacher (TRT) directly teaches more students than usual (an increase of at least 50% for the
TRT, but typically without raising instructional group sizes. With guidance from the team’s MCL, the TRT
plans and delivers instruction for multiple classes in a school where students rotate between face-to-face
learning with the teacher and digital or offline learning led by a paraprofessional known as a reach associate or
a teacher resident. While one class of students is with a reach associate or teacher resident, the TRT teaches
another class of students, focusing on delivering personalized and enriched instruction.
The TRT is responsible for co-planning, co-preparing, and delivering instruction, and co-monitoring student
progress to determine instructional needs. The TRT is also responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of
instruction led by the reach associate(s) and making or recommending changes. The TRT collaborates with
others working with the same students or subjects, including other members of the multi-classroom leader’s
team as well as reach associates, to review student progress and change instruction to ensure high-progress,
enriched learning for every student.
