As part of an MCL team, each MTRT is responsible for co-planning, co-preparing, and delivering instruction, collaborating with all adults working with the team to review student progress and change instruction to ensure high-progress, enriched learning for every student. MTRTs support the team in building a tutoring culture through increased small-group teaching and tutoring. With the Team Reach Teachers and MCL, MTRTs are responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the small-group tutoring provided by the team's paraprofessional(s) and making or recommending changes. Education and Experience Required Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college. Valid New Mexico teaching license.
