      Pros

      There is an incredible amount of growth at this position depending on the situation at the school. You are either slowly pulled into the classroom for observations, or learning through experience

      Cons

      The con to this position is if the school is unstable, since the moment that a teacher quits, you may be thrown into the class alone.

      Pros

      I work at Endeavor Elementary (one of many Achievement First elementary schools in Brooklyn). I worked for 2 different Charter Networks prior to working for Achievement First and I can truly say I would never work anywhere else. It is such a magical place to be everyday! Leadership team is so supportive and really pushes you to grow and be better daily. The scholars...where can I start? They are the smartest, coolest, kindest, and most inspiring children in New York. They work so hard all day in all academic areas and also grow personally through our social emotional curriculum. You will work VERY hard working for an Achievement First school but I am telling you, it is so worth it. You will grow not only as a professional and also personally working for this network. It challenges you in all of the best ways. Endeavor Elementary is my forever home. No where else would compare.

      Cons

      You work really hard and sometimes do work on your personal time but it is not necessarily a con in my opinion. All AF teachers work REALLY hard and the leadership team at your school is always there to support you to find a great work life balance and ways to manage your time best. To some, this may be a con, so I wanted to note it here.
