Pros

Very structured environment and a lot of KIPP specific professional development opprotunities. Welcoming staff

Cons

24/7 hours - you will be provided with a cell phone to be contacted at home. Was not provided a mentor teacher (you need it because it is different cultural/educational model). Pay lower than district and discouragement of sick/PD leave. Did not tell you school has unacceptable rating so school under a lot of pressure to perform.
