Program Coordinator ( Dallas, TX – Houston, TX – San Antonio, TX – West Virginia )
How Do Program Coordinators (PCs) Transform Math Education?
Over the course of ten years of research and development, Reasoning Mind has produced not only a first rate math curriculum, but also an expert artificial intelligence system that helps us meet the learning needs of every child. We have the product, but to achieve our mission we need more.
To fully realize the mission that drives everyone at Reasoning Mind, we must create partnerships with schools to help them learn how to use our system effectively. We must understand the needs of our schools, teachers, parents, and students and work to meet those needs. We must also identify any obstacles standing in the way of student learning and overcome them.
With each of your schools, you will:
- train teachers to effectively use Reasoning Mind.
- visit classrooms to understand how your teachers are implementing our program.
- meet with teachers to provide feedback and brainstorm effective practices.
- analyze student progress and plan next steps.
- engage principals and other school staff to help implement the program with fidelity.
By working with administrators, teachers, and students, you will also gain valuable information about how we can improve the Reasoning Mind system. In this sense, you will be the eyes and ears of the organization and help inform the development of our system.
