The team at KIPP Infinity Elementary School believes deeply in developing children, not just as students, but as well-rounded individuals who are happy, healthy, and empowered to solve real-world problems.

There are only two overriding principles at KIPP Academy Middle School: "Be nice. Work hard." In my capacity as the fifth grade science teacher, I not only led my students to over 70% growth on the MAP test (as compared to 50% on norm referenced studies), I also helped foster my students' character and perseverance. The things I am most proud of about my time at KIPP Academy Middle School include piloting, then planning, a whole-school transition from traditional grading to standards based grading, developing multiple project based learning units, and facilitating the creation of the district's first common assessment for fifth grade science.
