Business Outlook
Pros
Professional development (you grow quickly!), responsive and adaptive leadership (at a Network and school level), emphasis on team and building strong school teams to increase scholar results, strong instructional resources, weekly coaching
Cons
At first the work load can feel overwhelming, however if you have a strong personal organization system and use preps efficiently the work is sustainable. If you are transitioning from another school the first few months can be challenging (you may feel less experienced than you are), but I found this to be SO beneficial in my development as an educator. My instructional skill grew faster in my first year with AF than 5 years at my past school.
