Pros

- compensation -pay for graduate school -scholars are amazing and will brighten everyday - if you're inexperienced, you will grow so much as a teacher within 1 year - if you reach out, you will typically get a lot of support -can move up rather quickly

Cons

- not every coach and GTL are the same so those relationships and interactions with adminstration can make or break your experience. I personally had an amazing GTL who was very empathetic and compassionate so my time has been much better than some people I know because of that. - it is A LOT of work outside of school when you first start until you learn how to do things more efficiently so I highly recommend making sure your commute isn't that far -if you teach in a testing grade you are *required* to do tutoring for 3 months of the school year, you do get paid a nice hourly rate, however, it is extra time added on to an already long day and doesn't leave much time for self-care or work-life balance.. Especially, if you're still attending Relay. -very minimal teacher autonomy -get observed twice a week (personally, that didn't bother me but I know for some people it is a little much) -teacher retention rate isn't very high

Pros

* Teachers are provided with classroom materials and resources. * Teachers are not required to pay for or print materials on their own. * Operations team supports printing and material preparation.

Cons

* Printing machines frequently break down, causing delays and disruptions. * Teachers do not have direct access to printing and must rely on Operations. * Teacher supply requests are often limited or denied despite classroom needs. * Staff morale and student joy feel very low or nonexistent. * School leadership creates a culture of fear when data is not where it is expected to be. * There is little accountability placed on parents regarding attendance and scholar responsibilities. * Attendance policies are extremely strict for staff and students. * Spirit days lack excitement because students are often still restricted by uniform expectations. * Overall school culture can feel overly rigid and stressful rather than supportive and uplifting.
