Teacher Name Rocketeer CharacteristicsThis section is a discretionary decision by the manager. They may select to highlight a Rocketeer characteristic due to it being exemplified during the previous eight weeks, as a focal point for growth in the next eight weeks, or even as a key lever to accomplishing other areas of the PGP in the next eight weeks. (Managers, please do not focus on all characteristics, but focus on a maximum of two to three.)

Rocketeer Characteristics Evidence Strengths and/or ChallengesFeedback

Mission DrivenRocketeers believe that every child should go to college, and that requires both outstanding schools and thousands of them. Their language and actions with parents, educators, students and co-workers reflect their passion about closing the achievement gap through Rocketship’s unique model.

High AchieverHigh achieving Rocketeers continuously overcome obstacles to find better ways to build schools and support a child’s education while consistently working to improve and accomplish significant results.

AdaptableWhen the ground suddenly shifts Rocketeers don’t panic, they calmly assess, quickly regroup and move forward believing something better can be realized ahead. Rocketeers are open-minded, proactive, self-aware and demonstrate a positive attitude in addressing change.

CollaborativeRocketship is all about teams and Rocketeer’s trust that the collective efforts of the team will move us much faster and further than going it alone. Rocketeers value working relationships, understand how important working relationships are for the organization, and work at making their relationships function well.

PlannerRocketeers have strong organizational skills (pre-crastinator) and demonstrate them in their timeliness and focus by prioritizing effectively, managing their time, making strategic decisions, and thoroughly planning for events in the present and future.

InnovativeRocketeers bring diverse experiences, new ideas and new viewpoints to their jobs in order to question existing assumptions and push conversations in new directions.

MatureRocketeers demonstrate maturity by keeping their eye on the Rocketship vision and conducting themselves with the bigger picture in mind. Their behaviors demonstrate the ability to access the entire situation, the ability to make good decisions, keep an optimistic attitude despite any challenges, and understand the need to take care of one’s mind and body.

Internal Locus of ControlRocketeers don’t blame others, they chart their own paths and they go after them with the belief that there is no failure, only feedback. They take responsibility for their actions and find ways to directly or indirectly affect outcomes to move the organization forward.

Eternally PositiveRocketeers take their work seriously, but not so much themselves. They display a persistent, positive attitude to problem solving and recognize that goals are achievable, even with obstacles. They constantly make positive assumptions and have a generosity of spirit.
