The KIPP School Leadership Program has two primary fellowships for opening a new KIPP school: a year-long Fisher Fellowship and a two-year Miles Family Fellowship.

• The Fisher Fellowship offers candidates a year-long program that prepares them to open a new KIPP school. The Fisher Fellowship includes intensive summer coursework in an academic setting, residencies at KIPP schools, and individualized coaching from experienced KIPP staff. The 2009-10 Fisher Fellowship cohort includes 15 fellows. Click here to see their profiles.

• The Miles Family Fellowship provides selected participants with a two-year pathway to becoming a KIPP school leader. Miles Family Fellows receive a year of support and leadership experience while teaching in a KIPP school. After successfully completing the Miles Family Fellowship program, candidates will be considered for the year-long Fisher Fellowship in order to prepare them to open a new KIPP school. The 2009-10 Miles Family Fellowship cohort includes 11 Fellows. To see their profiles, click here.

The typical Fisher Fellow has five years of teaching experience and the typical Miles Family Fellow has at least three years of teaching experience, though we will make exceptions for extremely strong candidates.
