Company Description

Join the KIPP Team & Family

KIPP is hiring a diverse team of dynamic, collaborative, and dedicated individuals with the unyielding belief that every child will succeed.

KIPP Oklahoma is a part of a national network of free, open-enrollment, public charter schools offering a choice to families and children in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. We are driven and committed to our mission and vision.

KIPP Oklahoma currently educates over 1,000 students and supports hundreds of alumni. Today, the KIPP Oklahoma network consists of KIPP Tulsa Public Charter Schools (grades 5th - 12th) and KIPP OKC Public Schools (grades PreK, Kindergarten and 5th - 8th). KIPP OKC Public Schools is growing one grade per year until they are a full PreK - 8th grade program.

Mission:

Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose-college, career, and beyond-so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.

Vision:

Every child grows up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities.

We are a Team & Family

At KIPP, we see the gifts in everyone who walks through the doors of our schools. Especially our teachers. Their skill. Energy. Love. Their determination. On the good days and on the hard days. So we support our teachers to make the most of those gifts. It starts with respect - for our teacher's innate talent and desire to learn, for their professional growth and the lives they lead beyond our walls.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE TEACHING AT KIPP

You'll Work With A Team That Lives Its Values

Weather in a school-based or campus support role, our team is dedicated to living our values. Together, we work in schools and communities, not classrooms. We contribute to and are responsible for shared success. Like a family, we act with empathy and support one another to build strong relationships.

You'll Be The Change

You'll be part of a national network of 270 KIPP schools and 3 dedicated schools in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. We believe in the infinite potential of all people. Our hope, drive, and optimism fuel our daily work and drive us toward achieving a more equitable and just world, starting with our KIPP scholars.

You'll Be Valued

Our teachers are well compensated and have the tools, training, and technology to bring innovation to the classroom.

You'll Never Stop Learning

The joy of teaching is that there's always more to learn. We support our teachers - from those in their 1st year to those in their 20th year - with individualized coaching, professional learning communities, leadership development programs, and extensive resource-sharing.

You'll Have Fun!

Whether at a family movie night, a staff professional development with an impromptu choir and dance, or a gratitude celebration, we create and celebrate joyful moments with our students, their families, and each other.
