Do you have what it takes to lead students in the Delta up
the mountain to college?
Then KIPP Delta Public Schools needs you. We’re looking for
exceptional teachers and school leaders who have achieved dramatic results with
their students and who want to build a new school of excellence in the Arkansas
Delta in time for the 2011-12 school year. We seek educators from all
backgrounds who believe in KIPP's mission and who have the potential to
excel as school leaders.
Here’s why you need to join the movement:
- The timing is historic. Expanding school choice in rural
areas is the next education frontier. KIPP Delta is already redefining what is
possible in public education in rural communities. Our students are beating the
odds—and people across the country are taking note. Here’s your chance to build
on that success and put even more rural students on the path to college.
- By building a new KIPP school from the ground up, you can
create your own team of like-minded educators who strive for excellence in all
things and put students’ needs above all else.
- At KIPP Delta, you can make a huge impact not only on the
lives of your students but also on an entire region. The future of the Arkansas
Delta depends upon the strength of its public schools. Your dedication and entrepreneurial spirit can
help reinvigorate the culture and economy of a rural community.
