Through an out-of-school-time tutoring initiative with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Heart Math Tutoring has the opportunity to provide small group tutoring to 45-70 students for 3 hours per week (80+ hours/year) at designated elementary school sites after school during the 2023/24 school year. We are looking for Heart 3-5 Coordinators to manage the program at each school site to help students in grades 3-5 reach grade-level proficiency through small group tutoring.  

The Heart 3-5 program is different from but highly complementary to Heart Math Tutoring’s core model, which delivers 1:1 tutoring during the school day focused on K-2 standards. Both programs further HMT’s mission of ensuring all students develop the strong foundation in math and enthusiasm for academics needed for long-term success. When combined, the programs have the potential to ensure all students arrive at middle school ready for grade-level work, complete Math I by 8th grade, experience high school success, and have expanded post-secondary and career options. 

Key Responsibilities: The Heart 3-5 Coordinator will manage the implementation of the Heart 3-5 afterschool program at one school site in 2023/24, with primary goal of helping students in grades 3-5 reach grade-level proficiency in math.  Day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Oversee 45 - 70 students’ growth in math skills and enthusiasm for academic.
• Manage, support, and provide feedback to ~15-25 paid tutors who deliver lessons in 3:1 student-to-tutor ratios and utilize a combination of Intervention Resources (Kathy Richardson Developing Numbers Concepts and Bridges Interventions) and grade level content (enVisions and CMS district resources). 
• Collaborate with Heart 3-5 leadership to train and coach part-time tutors to effectively build relationships with students, deliver lessons, and use student data to drive instruction.
• Oversee collection, organization, and reporting of student academic and attendance data, reporting analyses back to teachers, principals, families, and Heart 3-5 leadership. 
• Regularly interface with teachers and classrooms by attending monthly PLC meetings and observing classrooms to connect Heart 3-5’s lesson pacing with classroom pacing. 
• Manage student enrollment, communicating with families, and family engagement plans.
• Manage tutoring materials on school site.
• Coordinate space and time logistics with school staff.
