* Professional Development | Plan and facilitate virtual and in-person professional development on curriculum and instruction to ensure all regions are on a path to implement the curriculum with fidelity and achieve academic goals.

* Instructional Coaching | Coach and support school administrators, teachers, and regional academic teams to set, make progress towards, and achieve math goals. This may include occasional travel to each KIPP Texas region (Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio).
