Instructional Excellence & Teacher Leadership
PEAK Teacher Program
Celebrating Exceptional Teachers. Multiplying Their Impact.
The PEAK Teacher Program is RMP University’s signature experience for our highest-impact teachers. Each year, the learning arc is redesigned so no two cohorts are the same. For SY26, the Class of 2026 will engage in the Field Study Cohort Experience. This differentiated path allows PEAK Teachers to lead from the classroom, take on mission and service projects, and complete Local, National, or Global field-study tracks.
PEAK Teachers are role models, codifiers of best practice, and movement-builders. Through this program, they advance instructional excellence, coach peers, and leave a lasting legacy for scholars and colleagues across RMP.
Lead from the Classroom. Share Your Excellence. Build the Movement.
Participation in the PEAK Teacher Program is determined through RMP’s rigorous selection process each January.
Applications and data are reviewed, interviews and observations are conducted, and designations are awarded as Innovators, Pathfinders, or Explorers.
Cohort invitations are extended each spring.

More About PEAK Teacher Program
This program is for exceptional RMP teachers whose student growth results and cultural leadership set them apart. Most are mid-career leaders already influencing beyond their classrooms as grade-level leads, mentors, or content leads. The Program will be a hybrid format with in-person workshops, interschool collaboration, and field study tracks.
The PEAK Teacher Program honors and develops RMP’s most impactful teachers. Each year’s cohort shapes a legacy through field studies, mission/service projects, and diffusion of best practices. Their leadership helps democratize college access and strengthens the network-wide movement for excellence.
PEAK Teachers will recieve a RMP Certificate Recognition through BOOST and at the annual PEAK Teachers Summit Showcase.
