- Position Description
- The School Leader of Innovation is a founding member of Rocketship's Innovation School, a first-of-its-kind lab school opening in Fall 2026 within an existing Rocketship campus. Reporting to the Director of Innovation School, the School Leader of Innovation is responsible for the day-to-day execution of a new instructional model, ensuring that the school's vision for personalized, AI-enabled, and joyful learning translates into excellent classroom practice, every day, for every student.
At its core, this is an School Leader role: the School Leader of Innovation School drives data analysis cycles, observes classrooms regularly, provides continuous feedback, and co-plans units and lessons aimed at increasing educator effectiveness. What distinguishes this role from a traditional School Leader is its proximity to a fast-moving, still-being-built school model. The School Leader of Innovation School leads teachers, tutors, and instructional support staff through new rotations, tools, and routines as they're implemented and refined in real time, and uses student data and adult feedback to flag what's working — and what isn't — to the Director of Innovation School.
Reports to the Director of Innovation School. Direct reports may include teachers, enrichment center coordinators, instructional support staff, and tutors.
