KIPP teachers are expected to work hard. How does KIPP prevent burn out and teacher turnover?
KIPP teachers are expected to help all students succeed, and they typically work a nine-hour work day during the week, half days on selected Saturdays, and three weeks in the summer. They also are available via cell phone for homework help in the evening. To compensate for the additional time required to teach in a KIPP school, KIPP teachers typically receive a higher salary than the average teacher in neighboring public schools. KIPP puts a high priority on collaboration and professional development, and the extended school day gives KIPP teachers time for lesson planning and sharing ideas. The KIPP Foundation provides regular training and professional development throughout the year to help teachers exchange lesson plans and gain new skills to improve their classroom practice.
