Achievement First reviews

I received an enormous amount of support and coaching throughout my two years at AF Hartford High. The leadership team truly cares about teacher development. My coaches were well versed in core content and management strategies. The school works diligently to gather data to push students behaviorally and academically. The curriculum is very rigorous and the behavior expectations are high but that is coupled with strong support from management, coworkers, and parents. You are provided with a very strong curriculum and you have some leeway (depending on the subject) to make adjustments as you see fit. In some courses, lesson plans are provided which provides relief to some teachers. If I hadn't moved locations, I could see myself staying with AF for many many years.

Student and staff culture is positive, consistent and effective. There are no micro aggressions between staff. Pay is great for the work. Growing you as a teacher is the goal with your coach throughout the year- you will exponentially get better as a teacher. Consistent expectations for all (staff, students, and leadership). Systems in all aspects of the school are strategically placed and implemented. I’m thankful and grateful to be a part of an inclusive and supportive team. School is including more Diveristy and inclusiveness Pd’s which is appreciated.
