 Why Teach Early Childhood At KIPP DC
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Impact: As one of the highest performing school school systems in the District of Columbia, educators at KIPP DC work in schools that put students at the center of decision making. Culturally responsive learning environments cultivate a sense of belonging for staff and students alike. As a teacher, you will have this foundation to make an impact with your students.
 </li>
 <li>
 Support: We seek to deliver unparalleled coaching and development to maximize educators' impact. Teachers receive year-round professional development rooted in antiracist practices and aligned to curriculum or role competencies. Frequent feedback and support from school leaders, network content coaches, grade-level chairs, and other teammates improve teachers' craft.
 </li>
 <li>
 Growth: We believe that all educators should have pathways for growth and development. This means teachers have ample planning time, grade-level and content meetings, and development and wellness days. In our schools, teachers work collaboratively with peers and are able to grow their leadership through opportunities like grade-level chair, fellowships, or school leadership development cohorts.
 </li>

 Highly Competitive Compensation &amp; Benefits: Our instructional salary scales are at the top of the DC market and affirm KIPP DC&rsquo;s belief that teachers are the cornerstone of schools.
