New Teacher Programs
KIPP teaching fellowships and residencies provide aspiring teachers with the professional development, mentorship, and classroom experience they need before leading a classroom of their own.
Program details vary by location, but the goal is the same: increase the pool of highly-effective teachers applying for lead teaching positions in public schools across the country.
Ideal candidates come with varying levels of experience, from novice teachers, to career changers, to recent college graduates.
