Pros

Choose when and where you work (school, teacher, grad level) Great for starting off in education Helpful and friendly staff all across the board I personally enjoyed the training we did Receive benefits after a year

Cons

Having to hop school to school if your regular school isn’t available At times teachers will leave terrible lesson plans so you’ll have to wing it More paraprofessional substituting jobs than actual teaching substitute jobs
