About the Organization

The Consortium On Reaching Excellence in Education (CORE) provides expert technical assistance and professional development for K‐12 literacy and mathematics programs. Our evidence-based model supports the implementation of Common Core State Standards and all other state standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. We work with educators and administrators at all grade levels, district personnel, and state departments of education to build system-wide capacity for sustained improvement.

About the Position

We are continually looking for new CORE Math Consultants to add to our pool of consultants, ready to be assigned to client projects as needed. Potential consultants must be available a minimum of 20 hours per month, and up to 40 hours per month. Once added to CORE’s consultant pool, projects will be assigned as opportunities are finalized with our clients. Note that this work will not involve a consistent schedule; typical client engagements involve multiple 2- or 3-day trips to the client site for in-person delivery, and/or multiple online sessions for remote delivery. Note that due to the COVID pandemic, in-person delivery is currently extremely limited (and is voluntary).

CORE Math Consultants provide professional development services in mathematics, traveling to client sites or facilitating remote sessions, to deliver a range of services. CORE’s services involve providing effective math instruction and program implementation including but not limited to providing demonstration lessons, classroom observations and feedback, side-by-side teaching and coaching, RTI support, supporting school or district administrators and coaches, and assisting with implementation plans. Consultants typically also provide PD in a workshop setting (in person or remotely) using CORE presentation materials.

We are looking for K-8, K-5, or 6-12 focused educational contractors with at least five years mathematics teaching experience in at least one grade band. Two or more years of experience as a math coach or instructional leader is also required.

CORE Math Consultants must be available to travel to school and district sites nationwide once in-person services resume post-COVID pandemic, and available to deliver remote services in the interim. Diverse candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
