The Interventionist provides direct supervision of and instruction to elementary school students. Interventionists primarily deliver instruction to students in small groups in reading and math, implementing the curricula and programs of the school. Additionally, some instruction may be delivered to a whole class (up to 12 students). Interventionists are responsible for assessing student performance, making data‑informed decisions about instruction, and contributing to/writing student goals and reports.

Interventionists work closely with fellow interventionists and teachers and the school administration to provide instruction and support to all students of the Academy.

Interventionists are hired to one‑year terms for their first year of employment at Roberts Academy. After the first year, those who continue employment move to ongoing positions rather than term‑based appointments.
