I was excited by the challenge and the opportunity to grow professionally. As a member of the Rising Leaders cohort 15-16, I have grown professionally by being honest about my development areas, being pushed out of my comfort zone and sharing openly with those in my cohort. Sitting in a room with other highly effective teachers who want to grow and learn as a professional inspires me.<\/p>\n<p>Rising Leaders is a leadership development program that is offered to teachers at Rocketship who are interested in growing their adult management skills and have taught for more than two years. The program is designed both for teachers who want to grow their leadership in the classroom or begin the transition into school leadership. We meet once a month with our cohort, which is composed of about 20 teachers across the network.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3033\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3033\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3033\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/img_5999.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"San Jose rising leaders collaborate together during their December meeting. \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/img_5999.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/img_5999-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/img_5999-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/img_5999-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Jose rising leaders collaborate together during their December meeting.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our meetings have a mix of small group and whole group discussions. Teachers in our cohort have varied visions for their leadership path \u2013 some want to continue to grow in their classroom teaching role and others are interested in growing into school leadership or joining Rocketship\u2019s Network Support team.<\/p>\n<p>This is beneficial because different perspectives and ideas are brought to the discussion. Ideas and experiences bounce back and forth during discussions, which creates an authentic discussion that is captivating. Each session has a specific outcome and I can honestly say that I have left every meeting with a token of knowledge. It\u2019s like magic \u2013 every time I leave a meeting I can\u2019t wait to take what I\u2019ve learned and put it into practice.<\/p>\n<p>As a teacher inspired to go into school leadership, this program has helped me identify my own triggers when I receive feedback and how to give feedback. As a leader on campus and hopefully a school leader one day, I know these skills and knowledge will be crucial in my everyday meetings and work with teachers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Michelle\u00a0is a\u00a0TK teacher at Spark Academy with\u00a0six years of teaching experience in various grade levels and subjects.
