KIPP Employee Reviews

Truly a cult-like atmosphere where "radical candor" was a fancy word that was thrown around but did not apply to leadership and their interactions with you only your interactions with others. Also, never expect a prep and you are expected to stay an hour after each day, 2hrs once a week, + wknds.

Communication and learning how to be proffesional when speaking to employees

Communication, transparency, and ensuring that all staff is trained.

Doing their job and holding themselves and other accountable especially students. Honor roll incentives and academic geared rewards/parties. Stop accepting unacceptable behavior simply because they come from "harsh" backgrounds coddling these kids is not going to give them a real chance in life.

They need to start working for people over profits as they claim in their core values.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

They seem to be focused on an impossible idealized ideal without wanting to really listen and put in the work they need to make it a feasible reality for parents, teachers, and students.

Less hours and better salary. Let's criticism and less intrusiveness

Lead teachers are paid 50k which is good if it wasnt for the constant ridiculous demands that make the work week longer. Kipp will consume your life if you want to be a good teacher and admin will do absolutely nothing to help. NOTHING!

KIPP teachers and staff work at least 3x more hours than other teachers at comparable districts. And they are payed the same.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

Comparable to public school salary, benefits are worse, but you will work roughly double the hours at KIPP versus the local district (I've worked the same teaching position at both). KIPP makes you do many additional unpaid tasks on the top of your contractual obligations.

Fellow teachers are some of the hardest working, most passionate people I have ever met. You have to be to put up with the administrative incompetency and stay in this job.

Co workers are great, kind and care for the students but no spine

Coworkers work very hard, however, when the constant is change, there is no standardization, and that keeps things always in flux without a sense of direction.

Stop expecting your employees to fill in for all the corners you cut.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

Be prepared to work 12-16 hours a day including weekends. KIPP will required you to do many additional inane data tracking tasks and minute by minute lesson plans (50 page lesson plans... No joke) or risk public shaming and being fired.

It doesn't need to be making change. It needs to find a constant and build from there.

The administration needs to review why they lose half their staff every year and whether this is really benefitting students and their families.

Lack of standardization. Change of direction every year.
