![]() The PIR’s role mirrors that of a vice principal for the majority of the development program, namely: leading both instruction and school culture as the leaders of subsets of teachers and students in either specific grade levels and/or departments. When and if an unexpected principal vacancy presents itself, KIPP DC may look to the group of current PIRs to step into a principal role on a shorter timeline than described above. Placement schools are usually the current school where an individual already works, if they are a current KIPP DC employee, but this may also depend on need and match. PIRs are committed to and actively contribute to the success of their placement school and act in alignment with the rest of the school leadership team vision and priorities. ROLE OVERVIEWĪ Principal in Residence (PIR) is an aspiring principal preparing to lead a KIPP DC school in an ideal two year timeframe, although this may depend on vacancies and alignment. The PIR program is a two year pathway to becoming a principal, pending successful completion of the program, vacancies, and an individual PIR’s readiness to fill those vacancies. Principals in Residence will have daily opportunities to practice the skills and competencies required to lead high-performing schools. PIRs are full-time members of their residency school leadership teams and almost always operate from a Vice Principal position. The KIPP DC Principal in Residence (PIR) program is a two-year, regionally-operated residency to prepare aspiring principals in the adaptive, technical, and managerial skills to lead a KIPP DC school. We are a network of eighteen schools educating nearly 7,000 students and employing 1,200 teachers, leaders, and staff members dedicated to our mission. ![]() By 2025, KIPP DC will build upon two decades of proven results to develop into a more impactful, innovative, and inclusive school system that provides joyful, identity-affirming learning experiences so that all students and alumni achieve extraordinary outcomes.
