We seek teachers and staff who are interested in developing students into outstanding human beings in their academic and personal lives by role modeling our culture of Rigor and Love.  We seek teachers and staff who work collaboratively with their teammates, seek feedback, coaching, and mentorship from their admin team and school community.  We seek teachers and staff who implement our data-driven curriculum with the tools they’ve gained from experience while they adapt to the needs of their students.

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. These metrics vary by position and are subject to change for the 2022-2023 school year.

As a Lead Teacher, you will be held accountable for some of these goals. Learn more about how you’ll drive these goals in the list below.

Through teamwork, collaboration, and feedback, teachers at RMP provide students with a culturally competent classroom setting that leads to more than a year’s worth of growth while maintaining an average daily attendance of 96% and driving student retention each school year.
