Our team strives to meet a bar of excellence, and we constantly challenge ourselves to get better and evolve our approach. High performers and leaders are encouraged to apply.
Academic Interventionists at Meeting Street Schools are strong teachers who deliver targeted, purposeful, differentiated instruction to students who need support with accessing grade-level materials. Support for students will range across grade levels and content areas. Student achievement will be measured through progress monitoring against grade-level standards; thus, academic interventionist success will be measured by student achievement.
