Job Description
Every member of the Team & Family at KIPP Texas Public Schools
plays a critical role in ensuring our students have the skills and
confidence to pursue the paths they choose - college, career and
beyond. Our educators are passionate advocates for their students
and their families, working tirelessly to ensure that our students
have access to opportunity. In our classrooms and across the KIPP
family we embrace, honor and celebrate our differences across
several characteristics that construct our unique identities in our
little and big KIPPsters. We are especially committed to attracting
and developing individuals who share the life experiences of our
students because we believe the best work we do is grounded in the
realities and experiences of our families and KIPPsters.
The Assistant Principal's job is to support the school in driving
academic and character outcomes for students as a key member of the
school's leadership team. Assistant Principals are expected to lead
both instruction and school culture while also developing
leadership in the school's emerging leaders. Our Assistant
Principals aim to spend 75% of their time on instructional
leadership. They commit to establishing high-achieving schools that
are diverse, equitable, and partnered strongly with the communities
they serve.
At KIPP, we believe that the Assistant Principal is a future School
Leader and is therefore actively being developed for school
leadership. The Assistant Principal should consider him/herself to
be an apprentice to the School Leader and gradually build capacity
to lead a KIPP school.
