Today, KIPP Tulsa has grown to serve 6th through 12th-grade students and currently educates approximately 600 students.

We Are a Team & Family

At KIPP Tulsa, we believe great schools are built by great people working together around a shared commitment to students. Every member of our Team & Family plays an important role in creating schools where students are known, supported, challenged, and prepared to pursue the paths they choose—college, career, and beyond.

As an Assistant Principal, you will be a key member of the school's leadership team, working alongside the Principal to create an academically excellent, joyful, safe, and student-centered school community. You will lead and develop teachers, strengthen instruction, build a strong student culture, use data to drive improvement, and ensure students receive the support and opportunities they need to thrive.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be present in classrooms, hallways, team meetings, family conversations, and the daily life of the school. You will know our students, develop our teachers, solve problems, and help turn our school's vision into consistent experiences for students every day.

Why You'll Love Working as an Assistant Principal at KIPP Tulsa

You'll Develop Great Teachers

Great schools begin with great teaching, and one of your most important responsibilities will be helping teachers grow.

You will regularly observe classrooms, provide actionable feedback, coach teachers, analyze student work and academic data, and help educators strengthen their instructional practice. You'll build trusting relationships with teachers while maintaining high expectations for what students deserve.

Your coaching won't be limited to formal observations. You'll be in classrooms frequently, celebrating what's working, identifying opportunities for growth, modeling effective practices when appropriate, and helping teachers translate feedback into action.

You will help create a culture where feedback is expected, professional growth is valued, and adults continually improve their practice because our students deserve our best.

You'll Lead for Academic Excellence

At KIPP Tulsa, high expectations and strong relationships go hand in hand.

You will partner with the Principal, teachers, and instructional leaders to ensure students experience rigorous, engaging, and standards-aligned instruction. You'll help monitor the quality of teaching and learning across the school and ensure instructional priorities translate into consistent classroom practice.

You'll analyze assessment results, student work, classroom performance, and other academic indicators to understand where students are succeeding and where additional support is needed.

When students aren't making the progress we expect, you'll work with teachers and leaders to identify why, develop a plan, and monitor whether our actions are producing better outcomes.

Our goal isn't simply to collect data. It's to act on it.

You'll Build a Joyful and Affirming School Culture

Students learn best when they feel safe,…
