Position Description
Assistant Principals (APs) at Rocketship are charged with driving academic achievement for students and building a rigorous college preparatory school culture. Every AP at Rocketship works closely with their Principal to lead and implement the instructional vision with a group of educators. Assistant Principals typically support several grade levels directly, which includes direct management of the teachers on that grade level as well as instructional support staff.  APs lead their grade levels by driving data analysis cycles, regularly observing classrooms, providing continuous feedback, and co-planning units of study and lesson plans aimed at increasing educator effectiveness and leadership.
 
Rocketship campuses are supported by a school leadership team that includes the Principal, Assistant Principals, as well as operations team members.   APs share responsibility across the school leadership team for professional development, culture and behavior in common spaces, and special events. Together, they lead a team of teachers, tutors, enrichment coordinators, and support staff who collectively deliver gap-closing, personalized instruction to students from pre-K to fifth grade.
