Math Content Specialist

We're looking to grow our team with current or former 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers who have exceptional knowledge of elementary math concepts. The primary responsibility of each Math Content Specialist is to write engaging and easy-to-understand video scripts to help grow teachers’ understanding of how to teach these concepts.

The ideal candidate for this role is someone who has an incredible passion for math education, understands how upper elementary math concepts connect and build on one another, and can communicate these ideas clearly through writing and using math representations (such as manipulatives, visual models, etc.)

If you love writing (almost) as much as you love math, you’re always thinking about new ways to incorporate math manipulatives into your lessons, and you're excited about the opportunity to help shape how math is taught in thousands of classrooms... this position just might be for you! 🎉

  • Collaborate with other team members to provide feedback and receive feedback as needed

  • Review all work for quality and accuracy, always submitting your best work
