Great training and development, poor work/life balance.

Pros

Achievement First provides great training and professional development for new teachers. After teaching at Achievement First for a few years, you will be in a position to excel in another school environment that might be more sustainable.

Cons

The workload and the number of hours you will have to put in your first year especially are significant. The leadership turns over quite often, which can be frustrating repeatedly bringing a new leadership team up to speed.

Pros

-Highly supportive environment: robust coaching structures, unit-level and daily-level lesson resources, lots of opportunities to attend professional development -Explicit work on diversity and inclusiveness: frequent conversations in affinity groups and mixed groups about how race impacts our interactions with each other and with our students -Lots of opportunities to provide input -Salary significantly higher than other schools -Committed to constantly making schools better for students and for staff -Desire to keep people happy in their roles, so there are lots of opportunities to move around and find the job that aligns with your personal interests and goals

Cons

-Extremely long days with an inflexible schedule (at least at my school); 55-60 hours/week in school and still requires work outside of school most weeks -While I believe that the structures put in place/requirements on teachers are important for student success, I think some people can find them constraining/stifling

Pros

Incredibly hard working teachers with a common vision to pull all resources necessary to see that students meet benchmarks each testing cycle.

Cons

Very testing oriented where students have little opportunity to play and grow socially and emotionally.
