Getting your foot in the door for education

Teaching fellow

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits that start on day 1 of your employment. Great staff members. KIPP is a great stepping stone for individuals that want to start their career in education. You will meet some great people and will enjoy some of your teammates and love your students.

Cons

Favoritism is the only way for you to move up within the school, so try to become a favorite. Bad behavior is rewarded and there are no boundaries put in place. No clear rules on feedback, I taught in the classroom for a year and never received useful feedback.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Most of the teachers are friendly and dedicated - Classroom spaces and facilities are relatively new

Cons

- Negligent leadership that does not respond to feedback and plays favorites - Overworked and underpaid teachers - The merit-demerit system that teachers are forced to use makes the school feel like a prison - Toxic workplace culture created by teachers who think they are better than the rest - The amount of time for prep during the school day is pitiful - DEI sessions are poorly implemented to the point of being counterproductive - The organization's mentality around diversity is exclusionary and purely performative - Teachers are regularly verbally abused by students - Many teachers quit this year because of how terrible the support and workplace environment is
