Pros
Student and staff culture is positive, consistent and effective. There are no micro aggressions between staff. Pay is great for the work. Growing you as a teacher is the goal with your coach throughout the year- you will exponentially get better as a teacher. Consistent expectations for all (staff, students, and leadership). Systems in all aspects of the school are strategically placed and implemented. I’m thankful and grateful to be a part of an inclusive and supportive team. School is including more Diveristy and inclusiveness Pd’s which is appreciated.
Cons
Work life balance- long work hours (7:00-4:30). Even with some experience, coming into AF, some staff will treat you as a “new teacher”. Science is on the back burner, for the most part, with unclear grading rubrics.
