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.
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.
