High School Teacher (26-27 SY)
Job Summary Teachers at KIPP DC lead classrooms that are academically rigorous, identity-affirming, and grounded in strong relationships with students and families. As a High School Teacher at KIPP DC Public Schools, you will plan and deliver high-quality instruction, build a strong and affirming classroom culture, and work closely with your team to support student learning and well-being.
As one of the highest performing public school systems in Washington, DC, KIPP DC believes that all students have the right to joyful, challenging, and culturally responsive learning experiences. Teachers are core to that work. The starting salary for teachers is $65,500 and increases with relevant years of Lead Teacher experience and graduate-level education, as outlined in our instructional salary scale. Compensation is determined by the scale and is non-negotiable.
Teachers may be content-specialized (for example, English, math, science, social studies, or specialty electives).
About KIPP DC For 25 years, KIPP DC has partnered with students, families, and the community to create joyful, academically excellent schools across the nation’s capital. Today, our network of 22 schools educate more than 7,500 students in grades PreK3-12, supported by 1,500 dedicated teachers, leaders, and staff.
Our work is grounded in five pillars–Academic Excellence, Joy & Sense of Belonging, Highly Effective Teachers and Leaders, Safe, Structured, and Nurturing Learning Environments, and Commitment to College Readiness–which ensure every student is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue success in college, careers, and beyond. Our schools combine high expectations with joyful, affirming environments that nurture academic success and personal growth for students and staff alike.
As part of the national KIPP network, we share best practices and innovations while maintaining deep roots in Washington, D.C. Together, we strive toward a future without limits for our students, alumni, and community
About the Team High School includes two schools in Washington, DC, serving grades 9-12. Our teachers, leaders, and student support teams work together to provide instruction that is rigorous, culturally responsive, and grounded in strong relationships with students and families. We believe classrooms should be academically challenging, joyful, and identity-affirming, and we support teachers through coaching, collaborative planning structures, and dedicated development time.
About the Role As a Lead Teacher, you will:
Teach engaging, standards-aligned lessons informed by student data.
Build an inclusive, identity-affirming classroom culture where all students feel a sense of belonging.
Collaborate with grade-level and content teams to plan instruction, analyze data, and respond to student needs.
Communicate consistently and proactively with families.
Contribute to schoolwide culture and community
Work collaboratively with peers and grow their leadership through opportunities like grade-level chair, fellowships, or school leadership development cohorts.
If applicable, you may also mentor a Capital Teaching Resident by modeling excellent instruction, gradually releasing classroom responsibilities, and participating in weekly coaching and feedback.
Secondary roles (middle and high school) include content-specific instruction in courses such as ELA, math, science, social studies, and electives.
Special Education Teachers collaborate with general education teachers and service providers to deliver instruction and services aligned to IEP goals in inclusive and pull-out settings.
Location and Type of Work
Fully In-Person (5 days per week onsite)

Participate in grade-level and/or content team meetings to align on instructional strategy.
Professional Collaboration, Development, and Feedback- 20%
Attend and actively participate in staff meetings, professional development sessions, and weekly planning/feedback meetings.
Implement coaching and feedback from school leaders, network content coaches, and lead teachers/grade-level chairs.

Perform duties (arrival, lunch, transitions, dismissal) as assigned.
Complete clerical tasks that support instruction and compliance, including student records, attendance, progress reports, and documentation related to IEP goals or interventions.

Instructional Responsiveness: Teachers use data to engage in a deliberate cycle of internalization, planning, delivery, questioning, feedback, and reflection to move student mastery forward in academic and socio-emotional learning. Teachers are aware of how all students are performing and are able to adapt to meet the needs of students.
Care of Students & Classroom Culture: Teachers set a joyful authentic tone and build loving relationships so that each student and family feels valued.
