About Innovamat
Innovamat is an educational organization specializing in mathematics education. Founded in Barcelona in 2017, Innovamat provides schools with a complete, research-based math program covering Early Childhood through Secondary Education, grounded in research across mathematics education, cognition, and neuroscience.
Innovamat also partners with leading thinkers and researchers in mathematics education, including Peter Liljedahl, author of Building Thinking Classrooms, and Brian Butterworth, a leading researcher in mathematical cognition and dyscalculia, bringing world-class expertise and perspectives into our broader work.
Our program integrates curriculum, teacher training, assessment, and intervention into a single coherent system. Today, Innovamat is present in 9 countries, partnering with 31,000+ teachers across 3,300+ schools and reaching more than 720,000 students. We are one of the few organizations in the sector with independently validated efficacy data from external research institutions, and the first non-American organization to pass the California State Board of Education adoption process for a core math curriculum.
Why This Role Is Special
You’ll be in the classroom, alongside teachers, observing lessons, modeling instruction, asking the right questions, and providing thoughtful feedback that helps educators grow. You’ll build meaningful coaching relationships and support teachers through the full journey — from their first steps with Innovamat to becoming confident, independent practitioners who can successfully implement Innovamat while continuing to strengthen their mathematics instruction.
You’ll have the autonomy to shape how coaching happens in your schools — designing personalized math success plans, adapting your approach to different educators and contexts, and becoming a trusted thought partner for teachers and school leaders.
If you’re passionate about developing educators, thinking deeply about how students learn mathematics, and creating lasting change in classrooms, this is an opportunity to take your impact to the next level.
What You Will Do
- Be the Math Success specialist — not just supporting implementation, but transforming how teachers think about and teach math
- Design and deliver personalized Professional Development (PD) journeys, tailoring coaching plans to each school and teacher
- Coach teachers in real classrooms through observations, live modeling, and feedback cycles
- Help shift instruction toward thinking classrooms, where students actively reason, explore, and engage deeply with math
- Drive measurable impact — from teacher confidence to student engagement and conceptual understanding
- Lead hands-on, math-focused PD sessions and workshops rooted in real classroom practice
- Act as a trusted thought partner to educators, supporting them through challenges and growth
- Build a strong community of math educators across your region
- Travel 30–50% of your time to schools and districts
You Have
- A strong background in mathematics, math education, and instructional coaching. You are a current or former math teacher with a clear academic and professional focus on mathematics and its teaching, and experience coaching, mentoring, or supporting other educators in their instructional practice. Experience teaching or coaching elementary or K–8 mathematics is strongly preferred.
- A passion to bring cutting-edge research into the classroom and positively impact students and teachers.
- Expertise in creating meaningful relationships and generating opportunities with district-level administrators, or equivalent.
- A knack for speaking and connecting with teachers. Educator-to-educator communication skills are fundamental for thriving in this role.
- A hands-on approach to your work, understanding that our mission requires a lot of building from scratch.
- An entrepreneurial mindset capable of thinking outside the box and excited about the challenges of an early stage.
- An appetite to travel and visit schools and classrooms in your region.
Mindsets you embody

- We are humble: We believe the best ideas can come from anywhere and that great work happens through collaboration.
- We enjoy the ride: We’re an international, mission-driven team that believes high performance and a strong sense of community can go hand in hand.
What We Offer You
- Compensation: $90K–$110K base salary, with target total compensation of approximately $130K, including performance-based bonus. Bonus potential is uncapped, giving you the opportunity to earn above the target compensation based on performance.
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Instructional Coach
Align your degree to your coaching duties
USCIS evaluates whether your specific degree field directly relates to the instructional coaching duties in your job description. A degree in curriculum and instruction, educational leadership, or a subject-area discipline strengthens the specialty occupation argument more than a general education credential.
Look up prevailing wages before negotiating
Use the OFLC Wage Search to find the certified prevailing wage for Instructional Coach roles in your target metro area. Your offered salary must meet or exceed that figure on the LCA, so knowing the number before salary discussions puts you in a stronger position.
Target districts with established HR infrastructure
K-12 districts that employ large teaching staffs and maintain dedicated HR departments are more likely to have prior LCA filing experience. Charter management organizations and private school networks with multi-site operations also sponsor more frequently than small standalone schools.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter your Instructional Coach job search to employers with documented H-1B LCA filing history by using Migrate Mate. This surfaces school districts, edtech companies, and education nonprofits that have already navigated the sponsorship process for similar roles.
Confirm each worksite appears on the certified LCA
If your coaching role covers multiple school buildings or campuses, each worksite location must be listed on a separately certified LCA before you begin work there. Raise this with your employer's immigration counsel early so filings cover all locations from day one.
Review your O*NET profile before the I-129 is filed
The O*NET occupation profile for Instructional Coordinators documents the degree-level knowledge and analytical tasks central to the role. Your employer's attorney will reference this profile to build the specialty occupation argument in the I-129 petition, so make sure your job duties match it.
H-1B Visa Instructional Coach: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Instructional Coach role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as curriculum and instruction, educational leadership, or a subject-area discipline. The employer must document in the I-129 petition that the duties demand theoretical and practical application of that specific degree field, not just general teaching experience or any bachelor's degree.
Which employers commonly sponsor H-1B visas for Instructional Coaches?
Sponsors tend to be large K-12 public school districts, charter management organizations operating multiple campuses, education nonprofits with professional development programs, and edtech companies that employ coaches to support product implementation in schools. You can browse employers with verified H-1B filing history for education roles on Migrate Mate.
How long does H-1B status last for an Instructional Coach position?
USCIS grants an initial period of up to three years, with one extension available for a total of six years. Beyond six years, continued H-1B status requires an approved or pending employment-based immigrant visa petition that meets specific age-of-filing thresholds under AC21 portability rules.
What happens if my coaching duties move across multiple school buildings?
Each distinct worksite where you perform H-1B duties must be covered by a certified Labor Condition Application listing that location's address and the prevailing wage for that area. If your role expands to new campuses after your original LCA is certified, your employer must file an amended or new LCA before you begin work at those sites.
Can an Instructional Coach change districts while on H-1B status?
Yes, but the new district must file a fresh I-129 petition and a new certified LCA before or concurrent with your start date. Under H-1B portability rules, if your new petition is filed while your existing status is valid, you can begin work for the new employer once USCIS receives the petition, without waiting for final approval.
