Across the network, all KIPP teachers have access to various professional development opportunities to continue improving their craft. While local professional development programs vary across KIPP schools to address the specific needs of KIPP teachers, national PD opportunities available to all teachers include: 

Network-Wide Collaboration Through KIPP Share

KIPP Teachers have access to KIPP Share, an online platform that enables teachers to share their curriculum, connect with teachers across the network, and explore popular classroom resources. KIPP teachers share to spark creativity and innovation in one another. They build on each others work so KIPPsters benefit from the collective wisdom of a network. Watch the short video below to see how KIPP Share works.

Community Building at KIPP School Summit

Every summer, KIPP teachers have the opportunity to come together for an entire week of learning and community-building at the KIPP School Summit (KSS). This network-wide event offers learning experiences with high quality presenters in all academic content areas and effective and culturally relevant pedagogy. While maximizing opportunities for sharing and collaborating with colleagues, KSS also ensures that teachers walk back into their classrooms each fall armed with best practices and tools that they can implement immediately. Every session is designed to support teachers in becoming masters of their craft.

Hands-on Learning During KIPP Content Retreats

Every year, KIPP Foundation hosts a variety of weekend-long community retreats throughout the country. These retreats provide attendees an opportunity to learn from and collaborate with other teachers and leaders throughout the network. In addition, they are able to observe at the local KIPP schools, work side by side with fellow KIPP teachers on their long term plans/lesson plans, and attend workshops presented by outstanding outside education professionals. In the past, the Foundation has hosted retreats for the following communities:

KIPP ELA Math Science

Social Studies Special Needs Early Childhood/Elementary
