Shirley Ramirez - KIPP Elementary School Teacher in Los Angeles, CA

Who Are KIPP Teachers?

There are nearly 2,000 KIPP teachers working every day to instill in our students the knowledge, skills and character to succeed in college and the competitive world beyond. While their experiences and backgrounds are varied and wide, each shares the fundamental conviction that all children can and will learn.

Across our network, nearly 40 percent of our teachers are African American or Latino, about 30 percent are Teach For America alumni, and over 35 percent hold master's degrees. We have highlighted just a few of our many outstanding teachers in the profiles on this page.
