KIPP’s national mission
6
To create a respected, influential, and national network of public schools that are successful in helping students from educationally underserved communities develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits to succeed in college and the competitive world beyond.
2013-14 school year: 141 KIPP Schools in 20 states and DC…

…serving over 50,000 students

Why
Healthy Schools
and Regions
9
Critical questions from KIPP leaders inspired this work
10
Beyond state test score performance, what constitutes a
healthy KIPP school?
We’re revamping our math program. What schools in the KIPP network are driving the highest student growth in 5th grade math?
How do I know if I’m preparing my students to be successful to and
through college?
We’re revamping our on-boarding and teacher development processes. What
schools are doing a great job supporting and developing new and experienced
teachers?
More broadly: why Healthy Schools & Regions?
Ensure we are focused on what matters; create accountability to our mission
Create common language and comparative data, especially given we operate in 20 states and DC
Leverage comparative data to identify promising practices, facilitate sharing and learning within our network (and beyond)
Ensure that a broad set of data informs decision-making – school health goes beyond test scores
Be real and acknowledge our challenges 11
Introducing our
Six Essential Questions
12
Several years ago, we began by developing a comprehensive framework…
4
Healthy Schools allows us to track progress toward our ultimate outcome—success to and through college, and in
life—as well as intermediate outcomes and leading indicators
High school and college attainment (matriculation, persistence, graduation) and life success
Attendance & persistence | Academic progress & achievement | Character & life skills
Leadership & organizational systems | TalentCulture & climate | Teaching & learning
Site Management
…are reached
through excellent
practice in these
areas.
We believe
that these
outcomes…
Long-term outcomes
Short and mid-term outcomes
Inputs / indicators

…which was supported by a set of data collection and reporting tools

MAP Assessment
Stakeholder surveys
Quality reviews
Quantitative metrics
Alumni tracking platform
A few years ago we “launched” our Healthy Schools & Regions Essential Questions
Question 1
Are we serving the children who need us?

Question 2
Are our students staying with us? Question 3
Are our students progressing and achieving academically? Question 4
Are our alumni climbing the mountain to and through college? Question 5
Are we building a sustainable people model?
Question 6
Are we building a sustainable financial model?

Question 6
Are we building a sustainable financial model?
21
Examining several financial health indicators
• Student enrollment ratio
• Non-philanthropic revenues as a percentage of operating expenses
• Current ratio
• Liquidity ratio
• Months of cash on hand

Network Impact:
Leveraging HSR
23
Healthy Schools & Regions taking hold throughout the KIPP network
More and more KIPP regions and schools utilize HSR in sharing their results and establishing their priorities
Nationally, HSR impacts how we set our national priorities, manage growth, and create network-wide focus via shining a spotlight
HSR is important frame for how we communicate about KIPP performance externally
Increasingly, HSR is key vehicle for how we identify promising practices for sharing and dissemination

Lessons
learned
29
We wanted to share five lessons learned
1. Tremendous power in developing shared language and alignment on “what matters”
2. Incredibly valuable – in terms of adoption, internalization, and impact, and in terms of strengthening the design – to engage leaders at all levels via an iterative design, pilot, refine, and rollout process
3. We found our succinct, six question framework made Healthy Schools and Regions much more accessible – still lots of richness and nuance below the surface, but simplicity of the overarching questions really resonated with our leaders 30
Five lessons learned
4. Senior leadership constantly reinforcing the shared language and performance indicators matters – multi-year area of focus. Alignment also matters – performance-driven decisions need to be explicitly tied to the key performance indicators.
5. Knowledge is power
• Being transparent about challenges as well as successes leads to innovation and dissemination of promising practices
• Tremendous power in a system of schools in generating insights via de-averaging performance data
