Pros

Achievement First is a great organization. Our schools are satellites, of a larger network, which creates an overarching mission of achievement in NYC , CT and RI. The curriculum is well-aligned to the Common Core standards and teachers receive extreme support with lesson planning, instruction and classroom culture.

Cons

The work hours and load are tough the first couple of years. Teachers need to be proactive and utilize the structures in place, to support and facilitate their development.

Thanks for the positive feedback here and for your long-term commitment to your school and scholars. Our goal is to create mission driven schools in all three of our regions and I’m thrilled to hear that is your lived reality. Of equal importance to us is that our teachers feel supported in this work, and I can tell you’ve experienced that support over your past 5+ years at AF. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and best of luck with the last few weeks of school. -Tom Kaiser, Chief Talent Officer .
