Pros

Autonomy + Accountability. Incredibly smart people. You will learn a ton from all the experienced teachers.

Cons

Lots of ambitious people, so it can be a lot of jockeying for position. It can feel like everyone is competing for the same position and no one wants to be a teacher.

The leadership team and co-teachers are very welcoming and helpful to newly hired members.

Pros

Decent pay, pretty great benefits, pension,

Cons

Many. No feedback on performance, different noble school allow paras to get summers off, paid/unpaid, must work all summer. It’s so inconsistent. LBS1s at times don’t do their jobs and expect para to lead, yet we don’t get paid for that, prioritize test scores and gpa gaps but not actual learning, all teachers are expected to pass kids at the end of the year. Standards base grading is absolutely hurting these students and their retention in college.
