KIPP, the Knowledge Is Power Program, is a network of free open-enrollment college-preparatory public schools in under-resourced communities throughout the United States. In this interview, KIPP co-developer Michael Feinberg joins Hedrick Smith to discuss the program—a reform initiative created as a model for middle school reform, starting in fifth grade. The purpose of KIPP? “To provide kids with the academic, intellectual, and character skills they need to succeed in high school, college, and the competitive world beyond,” says Mr. Feinberg.
