Together with families and communities, our mission is to create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose —college, career, and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.

Founded in Houston in 1994, and operating as KIPP Texas since 2018, our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism in our classrooms, in our offices, and in the communities we serve is unwavering.

We are looking to hire a diverse team of dynamic, collaborative, and dedicated individuals with an unyielding belief that every child will succeed.

Join our Team and Family and
champion equity, chase excellence, persist with purpose, bring joy, and help us
rise together.

KIPP Texas is part of the national KIPP network of 255 college-preparatory public charter schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia.

Nationwide, KIPP students complete four-year college at a rate of 36 percent, comparable to the national average for all students and approximately three times higher than the average of students from low-income communities.

The Special Education Contingent Classroom Facilitator (CCF) position is a full-time position. This position is essential to the rhythm of our schools and students' classroom experience.

The ideal Special Education CCF should enjoy driving student instruction and classroom engagement in the absence of a long term certified Special Education teacher.

We believe our little KIPPsters deserve the best classroom experience and this position will assist us in filling any academic gaps in the interim of a Special Education teacher vacancy.

KIPP Texas is committed to assisting in the training and development of any Special Education CCF and will offer coaching cycles that will address areas of assistance needed during your time serving our students.
