The posting

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.

Position Description

Our PreK 3 and PreK 4 Early Childhood Teachers are expert generalists who nurture the academic, social-emotional, and developmental growth of our youngest learners across all subject areas. In this role, teachers design and deliver developmentally appropriate, play-based, and standards-aligned instruction that builds strong foundations in early literacy, numeracy, language development, science exploration, social studies, and social-emotional learning.

PreK teachers create warm, structured classroom environments where children feel safe, joyful, and excited to learn. Teachers work closely with a collaborative early childhood team and are supported by school leaders who provide ongoing professional development and in-the-moment coaching every single week. Just as our teachers invest deeply in their students, Rocketship invests deeply in the growth and development of our educators.
