Pros
For new teachers and those who are looking to work in a high needs area, this is a great company to work for. AF is dedicated to improving teacher skill levels and embraces Teach Like a Champion. At the elementary level, most teachers are specialized, allowing them to focus on becoming true experts in their field. There is frequent opportunity to move into school leadership or to take on a teacher leader type position.
Cons
There is a TON of work. With school starting just after 7 and ending just after 4, it can be a very long day. In addition to that, more experienced teachers may feel stifled or forced into using methods that they don't agree with.
