      Work Culture is Crucial

      Pros

      I enjoyed working for AF. If you are applying for a school based position, I would say to be cautious of the adult culture of the school. Are teachers and school leaders aligned? Does everyone work together as a team? Do you see yourself fitting in with the culture at the school? Organization and alignment of the school team will make or break your experience at AF. Each school is different, so it's impossible to speak on all schools as a whole.

      Cons

      Be sure to advocate for your needs and support in your first year and expect A LOT of feedback. There is not a lot of career growth within the EA role.

      Pros

      very challenging work. Everyone is so supportive and is willing to give feedback and advice to help you better yourself as an educator. The kids work as hard as the staff; so, everyone has the same amount of work and sweat to put in and it is definitely rewarding when the outcomes are more than expected. You never stop learning and that is a big plus in my book :)

      Cons

      It is extremely hard to have a personal life outside of work as you are tempted to bring work home and the days are very long; so, expect to be fulfilled but tired at the end of the week. Prep time becomes meeting times for the majority of each month so you have sometimes bring work home for this reason as well. This could also be because my school is short staffed so we find time where we can...
