The Berlin Area School District and Clay Lamberton Elementary School are looking for a data-literate Academic Interventionist to support academic achievement by delivering targeted interventions in reading and/or math for students performing below grade level. Using data-driven practices and evidence-based intervention materials, the interventionist will provide Tier III instruction.

Clay Lamberton Elementary School is a place where all students find success. Our student body of approximately 440 students has opportunities to learn and grow from a young age. In our primary grades, students explore play-based learning, social-emotional lessons, mathematics built on conceptual understanding, and literacy taught with a focus on the Science of Reading. In our upper grades, students continue to build conceptual mathematical understanding to prepare them for middle school, expand their foundational literacy skills aligned with the Science of Reading, and dig into complex science and social studies theories and lessons. Additionally, all students have access to physical education, music, art, and STEM specialist courses. We believe that the elementary school experience is critical to the development of the overall student and their future success as a learner.
