About KIPP DC
When it comes to compensation, at KIPP DC we strive for clarity, equity, and to be highly competitive. We look at compensation benchmarks in schools across DC. Teacher salaries are exempt and start at $65,500 and increase with years of experience. Please see the salary scale here.

By 2025, KIPP DC will build upon two decades of proven results to develop into a more impactful, innovative, and inclusive school system that provides joyful, identity-affirming learning experiences so that all students and alumni achieve extraordinary outcomes.
 
Our work is grounded in a commitment to excellence, equity, and justice. We believe all students have the right to rigorous, relevant, and joyful learning experiences led by exceptionally talented and diverse educators who promote student achievement and a sense of belonging. We seek out teachers who are passionate about educational equity, driven by student and family relationships, and constantly seeking to grow.

Why teach Elementary at KIPP DC:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Highly Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Our instructional salary scales are at the top of the DC market and affirm KIPP DC’s belief that teachers are the cornerstone of schools. Our benefits program supports staff wellness and the school calendar is designed to foster sustainability with ample breaks to recharge from the demands of teaching.

What positions are available?
We have six elementary schools in DC looking for excellent educators to join their team.
  • Special Education Teachers: Special education teachers work with students to accomplish goals on their individual education plans (IEPs) in both a push-in and pull-out setting. While most schools follow the inclusion model, some early childhood schools also support students who need more individualized instruction through a co-teaching model in their general education classroom.
