Kipp New Jersey Careers in Newark, NJ

KIPP began in 1994 with a powerful idea: to help children develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits they need to succeed in college and build a better tomorrow for their communities. Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin started KIPP in a Houston district classroom with 47 fifth-graders. As fifth grade teachers in Houston’s Third Ward, Mike and Dave saw the need for high-quality college-preparatory instruction, and developed the KIPP model to help meet that need. The core of KIPP’s model was the Five Pillars of High Expectations, Choice and Commitment, More Time, Power to Lead, and Focus on Results.
