About The Position

The RMP Promise Rocky Mountain Prep is a movement of educators, families, scholars, and advocates committed to changing public education in Colorado by democratizing college access for historically marginalized students and families. We operate twelve college-preparatory schools serving students from early childhood through twelfth grade, and we are fundamentally a world-class learning organization that invests deeply in every educator who joins us. Teachers engage in ongoing coaching and professional development, supported by clear expectations, transparent feedback, and opportunities to strengthen their craft and advance along individualized career pathways grounded in our PEAK values. Rooted in a culture of rigor and love, RMP promises to coach, develop, and champion every team member so they can do their best work and grow as professionals, people, and leaders. Our Approach to Technology: At Rocky Mountain Prep, technology education equips students with the digital literacy, problem-solving skills, and creative confidence needed to navigate and shape the modern world. From ECE through fifth grade, students engage in developmentally appropriate learning, including computer fundamentals, typing fluency, foundational coding without AI, and hands-on STEM design challenges. Technology teachers design standards-aligned curricula and authentic performance tasks that require students to apply learning by designing, building, testing, and presenting solutions to real-world problems. These tasks are collaborative and reflective: students work in teams, iterate on ideas, analyze feedback, and share creations with peers and the broader school community. Clear criteria aligned to rigorous academic and technology standards guide students in demonstrating technical skill and innovative thinking. Classrooms function as creative labs where curiosity, persistence, and responsible technology use are emphasized, empowering students to become confident creators and thoughtful digital citizens.
