knowledge is power program  

Definition

  • Founded in 1994 by two teachers (Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin), KIPP represents one of the most significant and high-profile efforts at comprehensive school reform in the United States. The KIPP schools did not begin as a comprehensive school reform movement, but over time they impacted the way both traditional and nontraditional educators approached schooling in urban contexts.
