Classroom Teacher, Elementary School,

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. Every Rocketship school is supported by leaders who provide weekly coaching and real‑time feedback in the classroom to help teachers continually grow their practice. Just as our teachers invest their time and energy in the progress of their students, we invest in their professional growth through collaboration, development opportunities, and eligibility for performance‑based pay tied to student growth and instructional excellence.

Annual teacher home visits, monthly parent community meetings, and a vibrant parent volunteer network create authentic relationships, a rich school culture, and a devoted community that propels student achievement.
