What is a Commitment to Excellence contract? What is its purpose?
KIPP Tulsa shares a commitment with its teachers, students and parents. This commitment is documented in the signed “Commitment to Excellence” contract. This contract highlights each group’s shared responsibility and accountability for achievement. All parties agree to actions that will lead to the student’s personal and academic growth, be it on time attendance over an extended school session or learning to work effectively in teams or taking charge of a class project. This commitment means that neither party will allow obstacles that may have stopped students from achieving in the past, stand in the way.
