Pros

I have met some of my best friends working at KIPP DC, and love seeing our students every day. During my career at KIPP DC, I have been coached and pushed as a teacher to be even better for kids, and have had opportunities to apply for leadership positions within the organization. Everyone at KIPP DC is moving in the same direction---doing what's best for kids. And that's what keeps me coming back year after year.

Cons

The work is hard! It is easy to burnout, but there are also supports in place for teachers and staff.

Pros

KIPP DC believes culturally relevant and culturally responsive teaching is essential. Our students deserve opportunities to learn that validate them and affirm their identities. At KIPP DC, teachers are empowered so that students have access to meaningful instruction. Teachers have the autonomy to lead instruction in ways that lead to high engagement, identity work for all students, and a consistent belief that all students can achieve. KIPP DC School Leaders ensure teachers feel supported, ensure teachers have adequate time for preparation, do not allow low levels of rigor in our classrooms, and have systems in place to allow repetitive work towards increased content knowledge and pedagogy for even the most experienced teachers.

Cons

KIPP DC has an extended day for teachers until 5pm, at least once a week.
