POSITIONS AVAILABLE FOR THE 2010-11 ACADEMIC YEAR:
ACADEMIC POSITIONS WITHIN SCHOOLS:
These include founding Kindergarten teachers and Teaching Fellows for KIPP Austin’s first elementary school, KIPP Austin Comunidad, 5th-11th grade teachers for our middle schools and high school (all subjects), as well as leadership positions within schools. Most academic positions require at least 2 years teaching experience achieving significant academic gains with traditionally underachieving students; however, we will consider candidates with 1 year of teaching experience on a case-by-case basis.
For individuals interested in beginning a teaching career with KIPP Austin, please review our Teaching Fellows program. This is an opportunity for non-certified or certified teachers who have not yet been a teacher of record for at least one year.
NON ACADEMIC POSITIONS WITHIN SCHOOLS:
These include business managers, office managers, social workers, counselors and other positions key and vital in supporting our schools, but not serving in an instructional capacity.
SHARED SERVICES TEAM:
Additional academic leadership positions and most non-academic positions serve on the Shared Services Team. These staff members provide academic and operational support to all the schools in the KIPP Austin network, supporting the nuts and bolts of a growing organization while acting as capacity builders, thereby helping to elevate the level of instructional delivery and academic performance for all of our students at each of our schools.
SCHOOL LEADERSHIP:
We encourage applicants interested in a future opportunity as a founding principal of a new KIPP Austin Public School to apply for an academic position with us for this year, including teacher or assistant principal.
