District TOSAs

The Educational Technology & Assessments Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA) helps schools use technology to improve teaching, learning, and student access to resources. She focuses on supporting students identified as English Learners (EL), Socioeconomically Disadvantaged (SED)/ Low-Income (LI), and Foster Youth (FY), so every student has the tools they need to succeed.

She manages digital instructional materials and program licenses, ensures teachers can access and use online curriculum and assessments, and provides training on how to use technology effectively in the classroom. They support key assessments, like i-Ready Reading and Mathematics in grades K–12, to help identify students who need extra support and guide schools in responding to their needs.

The Educational Technology & Assessment TOSA also coaches teachers, models lessons, and leads professional development so staff can make the most of digital tools. Her work ensures technology is used to engage students, personalize learning, and improve outcomes for all.

The Elementary Literacy Teacher on Special Assignment (Literacy TOSA) works with teachers and schools to strengthen reading instruction and improve literacy outcomes for elementary students. She coaches teachers, leads professional learning, and brings staff together to share strategies that help all students become confident readers.

She guides a districtwide team of elementary reading intervention teachers and paraprofessionals who work with students in small groups to provide targeted reading support. The Elementary Literacy TOSA also helps schools use reading assessments in grades TK–5, analyze the results, and select the best instructional strategies and interventions.

Her work ensures students receive strong foundational reading instruction in the classroom, as well as extra help when needed, so every child can grow as a reader.

The English Learner Teacher on Special Assignment (EL TOSA) helps ensure students learning English get the support they need to succeed. She collaborates with teachers, principals, and families to monitor student progress, facilitates the reclassification process, and coordinates state-required ELPAC testing.

The EL TOSA also provides training and resources for teachers, hosts parent workshops, presents at ELAC and DELAC meetings, and helps families understand English Learner programs and testing. She brings school teams together to share strategies and celebrate student success at the annual Multilingual Achievement Ceremony.

She guides a districtwide team of English Learner Facilitators (ELFs) who work with students and staff to provide targeted English language development support. 

The EL TOSA’s goal is simple: partner with schools and families so English Learners can grow in both language and academics.

The Math Teacher on Special Assignment (Math TOSA) supports schools in providing high-quality math instruction for all students. She collaborates with teachers and principals to enhance core math programs, provide targeted intervention supports, and offer enrichment opportunities.

The Math TOSA coaches and models effective, research-based teaching strategies, helps teachers plan engaging lessons, and provides professional learning focused on culturally responsive, student-centered instruction. She tracks and analyzes student achievement data, helping school teams use that information to improve learning outcomes.

The Math TOSA also partners with schools to create family engagement opportunities, giving parents tools and resources to support math learning at home. The goal is to ensure every student has the skills, confidence, and opportunities to succeed in mathematics.
