Job Description

Who We Seek

If you are someone who is mission-driven, humble in your reflections about your practice, smart in the ways you approach data and are results-oriented, we’d love to see you apply.
During the 2022-2023 school year, RMP is driving after five big goals:
  1. Kindergarten through second-grade students will grow, on average, 1.5 years in math and reading.
  2. Students receiving interventions will, on average, grow 2 years in reading.
  3. Third- through fifth-grade students taking CMAS will score an average of 45% on track for the next grade level with 10% scoring exceeding expectations.
  4. Average Daily Attendance at each RMP school will be at least 96%.
  5. At least 90% of students who start at RMP, stay at RMP. (We call this the Persistence Goal.)
Each member of the organization plays a part in achieving these goals. School-based staff members will work towards 2 or 3 metrics that are aligned to both their individual roles AND the Big 5.
As an Assistant Principal of Instruction, you will be held accountable for two academic goals and one operational goal (ie attendance or persistence) . Learn more about how you’ll drive these goals in the list below.

Role Mission:

In this role, you will:

    • Lead instructional staff to achieve measurable and ambitious results that improve their teaching quickly and measurably by conducting daily observations, real-time coaching, data analysis, and mid-year and end-of-year effective evaluations.

    • Build and maintain a cooperative working relationship with students and families built on trust, understanding, and respect for the communities in which they identify.
    • Support school-wide culture that fosters a productive and enthusiastic learning environment.
    • Participate in weekly manager check-ins, grade-level meetings, before and after school duties, and school-wide meetings and functions.
    • Participate in summer and year-long school-based professional development sessions.
    • Perform other duties, as required.

      • At least 3 years of full-time teaching experience
      • At least 2 years of full-time teacher leadership or administrative experience
      • Proven track record of achieving success in the K-12 setting

Benefits

    • Health Insurance (medical, dental, vision)
    • Disability Insurance (RMP covers short-term disability coverage at no cost to the employee. Staff members can also select optional long-term coverage.)
    • Life Insurance (optional up to $100k – additional options through PERA)
