IPS Culture
What began as the Proving What’s Possible initiative is now our foundational approach to talent acquisition—committed to attracting and supporting a diverse, high-quality team of educators for IPS classrooms.
Studies confirm that all students thrive with diverse educators, and this impact is even stronger for students of color.
We’re dedicated to creating pathways for talented teachers to join our team, making sure our staff feel valued and have the support they need to advance in their careers.
Proving What’s Possible
While the work is challenging, an IPS career is deeply meaningful and impactful. We seek innovators and trailblazers who share our belief that every child deserves access to an exceptional education.
As part of TeamIPS, you’ll create lasting connections, find a sense of belonging, and feel supported to make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.
In return, we expect a commitment to excellence and accountability. You’ll be held to high standards. Resilience and passion are key—you must be adaptable, handling adversity with flexibility while putting students at the heart of everything you do.
Together, we are Proving What’s Possible by building a community where everyone belongs and each student has the opportunity to fulfill their potential.

Teacher Leadership
Teacher Leadership is critical to realizing our vision for students and our success. As such, we are committed to identifying opportunities to elevate teacher voice, expand teacher impact, and recognize our teachers through additional leadership roles and additional compensation. Teacher Leaders take on additional roles within their schools or district to help drive change for their schools and the district.
