Job Description:
At Rocketship Public Schools, we believe in the infinite
possibility of human potential. We believe that every student
deserves the right to dream, to discover, and to develop their
unique potential. And it is our responsibility and our privilege to
unleash the potential inside every Rocketeer we serve. Our
non-profit network of public elementary charter schools propels
student achievement, develops exceptional educators, and partners
with parents who enable high-quality public schools to thrive in
their community. We are a collective of parents, teachers, leaders,
and students working together to transform the future for
underserved communities across our country. At Rocketship Public
Schools, we are unleashing potential.
Our elementary teachers are subject experts who specialize in
either Humanities or STEM. Content specialization allows teachers
to develop much deeper expertise in their subject matter, and
creates a collaborative teacher team as they develop lesson plans
alongside other talented teachers. Every school is supported by
school leaders who provide professional development and real-time
coaching for teachers in their classroom every single week. Just as
our teachers invest their time and energy in the progress of their
students, we invest our time and energy in the progress of our
teachers.
Rocketship's collaborative learning environment reaches well beyond
the classroom. We are deeply committed to parent engagement.
Teachers new to our network are always impressed by how deeply our
Rocketeer parents are engaged in their school's community. Annual
teacher home visits, monthly parent community meetings, and a
vibrant parent volunteer network create solid relationships, a rich
school culture and a devoted community that propels student
achievement.
At Rocketship, you are joining a network and a community committed
to excellence. If you are looking for the chance to drive
transformative change in underserved communities and contribute to
a national movement to eliminate the achievement gap in our
lifetime, look no further than Rocketship. We have ambitious plans
to scale our system to serve more communities in need every year.
We prioritize developing leaders from within and have invested in
multiple career pathway programs for our teachers and school
leaders.
