Seeking Leaders for New KIPP Schools!
Friends of KIPP Central Ohio,
A few weeks ago, we shared with you exciting news about our expansion as a KIPP region. We continue to be inspired everyday by the prospect of helping more Central Ohio students climb the mountain to college, and we are proud of the progress we have already made toward that goal.
Yet even as we make plans to open new KIPP schools, we know they will not be successful without great school leaders. KIPP school leaders are not only responsible for crafting a vision for their school, but also building a team of excellent KIPP teachers.
KIPP Central Ohio is currently seeking individuals to serve as founding principals for our new Elementary and Middle schools to be opened in the 2013-2014 academic year. Before opening their school, founding principals will first participate in the Fisher Fellowship, a year-long training program, during the 2012-2013 academic year.
Learn more about the Fisher Fellowship here.
What makes a successful founding principal? KIPP Central Ohio is looking for applicants who have not only shown success teaching in a disadvantaged community but who are also visionary, gritty, resourceful, inspiring, solutions-oriented, team-building, entrepreneurial, and flexible.
If you or someone you know is interested in serving as a Fisher Fellow and KIPP founding principal, applications are open and can be completed here! The first application deadline is November 6.
With more great schools, we have no doubt in our ability to help more Central Ohio students climb the mountain to college. Thanks for your support in identifying great school leaders who will help us achieve that goal!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Respectfully,
Hannah D. Powell
