Job Description
Rocky Mountain Prep is growing. We are expanding high-quality elementary education throughout the Denver Metro area and we need thoughtful, growth-minded, team-driven teachers to do it. RMP Teachers are a rare bunch: driven to go the extra mile in driving student success, collaborative to the bone, always striving to become a better educator, and fun-loving to the core. We are always on the lookout for how to make Rocky Mountain Prep a better place for our scholars and our families. #onlyatRMP
We are looking for talented and passionate Kindergarten teachers!
There are many public charter schools and many models. Rocky Mountain Prep prides itself on being different. We balance rigor and love – the challenges that make a person academically successful and the relationships that make them emotionally independent. We teach our scholars values: Perseverance, Excellence, Adventure, and Kindness. We value the whole person, not just the numbers. Our model has made us incredibly successful, high test scores and, more importantly, happy students that love coming to school.
We are looking for Lead Teachers. You are inspired to mentor, to lead, and to help your scholars and your team grow. You’re experienced in connecting with kids and getting results. You don’t miss deadlines. You never settle for good enough and you can get scholars to follow your lead.
As a Lead Teacher you will create an inspiring classroom culture that is infectious. You’ll provide the leadership that our scholars need to be successful. You have a track record of providing high-quality, data-driven instruction and seek feedback constantly. You wake up every morning excited to work on a team that is passionate and hard-working and that doesn’t give up until every scholar is succeeding.
Most importantly, you’ll jump into our vibrant culture: you’ll work hard and play hard, find time to check-in and see how people are doing, go out of your way to help a team member, and work with together to find solutions to problems. Rocky Mountain Prep was named one of Denver Post’s 2016 Top 100 Workplaces and your friendly, eager spirit will fit right in.
