About the KIPP Framework for Excellent Teaching
This model contains four main elements; all centered on our goal of
student growth and achievement and the beliefs and character that all our teachers share.
AT THE CENTER OF OUR WORK IS:
Student Growth and Achievement
Excellent teaching means students learn, grow, and achieve transformative life outcomes.

THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF EXCELLENT TEACHING ARE LINKED THROUGH OUR:
Beliefs and Character
An excellent KIPP teacher is committed to KIPP’s mission. She constantly pursues becoming a better person, just as she supports students in this pursuit. She understands that her beliefs and character affect who she is, her impact on and relationships with others, her classroom environment, how she teaches, and what she knows.

THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF EXCELLENT TEACHING ARE:
Self and Others
Excellent teaching requires understanding of oneself, one’s connection to others, and a growth mindset that allows the teacher to take ownership for the success of all KIPPsters.

Classroom Culture
In an excellent classroom culture, the teacher focuses on countless tangible and intangible details in the space to create an environment where students are joyfully engaged, meaningfully on-task, and feel ownership for their individual and collective successes in college and in life.

The Teaching Cycle
Excellent teaching means planning and executing rigorous, engaging lessons that fit into a logical scope and sequence, as well as using student data to assess mastery of objectives and movement toward big goals for student achievement and growth. Excellent teaching requires a 1/12 mindset, recognizing that even the tiniest details can dramatically impact student mastery.

Knowledge
Teaching is an art and science. As the artists and scientists, we are responsible for building our understanding of child development, pedagogy, and content. We are responsible for knowing what we are teaching, how it fits in a PreK-16 continuum, and who we are teaching it to.
