Our Commitment

At LEARN DC, we are committed to Achievement for All: Every Student, Every Day — No Exceptions, No Excuses. We believe that gaps in achievement are not permanent—they are the result of unmet instructional needs. Our role is to uncover, understand, and address those needs with urgency and precision.

Position Overview

The Academic Interventionist is responsible for accelerating student achievement by delivering targeted, evidence-based instruction to students performing below grade level.

This role operates within LEARN DC’s MTSS framework and is accountable for ensuring that intervention leads to measurable, sustained student growth, not just additional instructional time.

• Monitor student progress weekly and adjust instruction in real time
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date intervention trackers aligned to school expectations
