Videos from KSS

KSS is a week where KIPP teachers, school leaders, staff, board members, and supporters come together for a week of professional development and celebration.  Other than catching up with all of my friends (and making new ones), the highlight of KSS for me was this 4-minute video that was created for and shown for the first time at the Gala Dinner and Award Ceremony that closed out KSS: www.vimeo.com/27137582.  It is AMAZING – totally inspiring.  In particular, it gave me goosebumps to see what's happened to all five KIPPsters who were interviewed in the Sept. 1999 60 Minutes segment (www.kipp.org/index.cfm?furl=/press-center/multimedia-archive/kipp-videos/kipp-video-display/&video_id=22) that was a catalyst in launching KIPP nationally.  (I filmed the video as it was being shown and posted it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IiAjR4eTgM – it's low quality, but you can hear the crowd going NUTS!)
