Organizational Overview
KIPP NC is a network of eight high-performing, college-preparatory public charter schools providing an academically rigorous and joyous school experience to more than 3,500 students in grades K-12 in Charlotte, Durham, Gaston, and Halifax. KIPP NC supports several thousand alumni on their journey to and through high school, college, and career.
KIPP NC is building on a rich tradition of academic excellence and relentless fight for social justice present from the founding of both KIPP ENC and KIPP Charlotte. KIPP ENC is the second oldest KIPP region in the nation. In its 20 years of operation, KIPP ENC has been a cornerstone for students and families in rural Gaston and Halifax, operating two primary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. Over the past five years, it grew to serve even more students by opening up a middle school in Durham, an urban center in the center part of the state. KIPP Charlotte, which grew out of the strong traditions and academics of KIPP ENC, has supported students and families for the past 13 years, operating one primary school and one middle school in the largest city in North Carolina.
KIPP North Carolina is building upon the successes and experiences of KIPP ENC and KIPP Charlotte to provide inclusive school environments and an educational program that will enable our students to lead full lives and equip graduates to be future leaders and agents of change in North Carolina and beyond. KIPP NC is engaging in direct, anti-racist work, and contributes meaningfully to the dismantling of structures of inequality within our organization, schools, and classrooms. We’re committed to expanding our efforts to embed anti-racism in all of our activities and engagements within our classrooms and schools, across our organization, and throughout the State of North Carolina. All of this will be in a tireless effort to create classrooms that are homeplaces for our students, places where they feel safe, loved, validated, seen, and heard, places where all their beautiful identities will be affirmed and celebrated, and places where they will learn the academic knowledge and skills needed for college, career, and beyond.
Teaching is the absolute hardest profession in the world and it is going to take incredible leadership to successfully turn around KIPP Durham Middle School to realize our students’ limitless potential. We are assembling a dream team of 14 exceptional educators with extraordinary skill, and the passion to make change in the lives of students and their communities. With salaries ranging from $70k - $100k KIPP Durham Middle School staff will be the highest paid educators in the state of North Carolina. If you have what it takes and are ready for the challenge, we want to recognize the expertise and commitment to excellence you bring to the table.
Through “refounding” KIPP Durham Middle School, our dream team will gain unique professional experiences and career advancement in building a school from the ground up - preparing them for leadership in the education industry and beyond.
The exceptional educators we’re looking to join the KIPP Durham Middle School team will be master educators who have track records of affecting rapid, dramatic student learning improvements for students. While we founded the school in 2015, we are treating 2024-25 as a re-founding school year, an endeavor that requires a staff with a founder’s mentality around doing what it takes, making it happen, sweating the small stuff, and creating a reimagined reality for our students
CRUCIAL COMPETENCIES
Our one “re-founding” Enrichment/Specials Teacher will blow the following four crucial competencies* out of the water:
Driving for Results: Our teachers will have personal accountability to achieve outstanding academic results and the task-oriented actions required for success. Our teachers will set high goals for themselves and their students, making persistent, well-planned efforts to achieve these goals despite barriers and resistance; holding others accountable for doing their part to achieve results; and putting in all the extra effort necessary to ensure success.
Influencing for Results: Our teachers will motivate others—students, colleagues, and families—and influence their thinking and behavior to obtain outstanding academic results and classroom culture. Our teachers will understand that they cannot accomplish change alone, but instead must influence the work of others. They will use a variety of influencing moves—inspiring students, nurturing ridiculously joyful AND rigorous classroom and schoolwide cultures, responding to unspoken student needs and motivations, and simultaneously supporting and inspiring colleagues to collaborate on the path to schoolwide success—as the situation requires.
Problem-Solving: Our teachers will be LASER FOCUSED on planning, organizing, and delivering high quality Tier 1 instruction, and they will continually analyze data to determine student learning needs and next steps for intervention blocks during the day.
Personal Effectiveness: Our teachers will exhibit flexibility and optimism when faced with stressful, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar situations; maintain confidence in themselves and a willingness to keep improving despite the many challenges of their role; actively embrace the constant changes needed to ensure student learning in high-challenge situations; and hold and maintain a strong belief in the human potential for learning and improvement, despite significant societal pressures to settle for less. Our teachers will see themselves as not just a classroom teacher, but a SCHOOLWIDE teacher oriented around solutions and being proactive in their engagements.
