Who is eligible to apply for the KIPP School Leadership Program? What is the minimum number of years of teaching experience required to apply?
While all applicants must meet our rigorous selection criteria, there are minimum application requirements. The typical Fisher Fellow is expected to have completed at least four years of full-time classroom instructional expertise in a K-12 setting in the United States. The typical Miles Family Fellow is expected to have completed at least three years of teaching. We will make exceptions for extremely strong candidates. Additionally, all applicants should have 3 – 5 years of teaching and leadership in a low-income school with demonstrated exemplary student results. For purposes of the selection process, KIPP defines “low-income school” as a school in which over 50 percent of the student population qualify for the Federal free and reduced meals program.
