Pros

Great Pay, Opportunities to earn extra money, district made lessons, usually protected PLC (Though this changes between departments.) I am fortunate to have an AP that does not micromanage unless he is forced to. He trusts us to do our job and we do it. Kids are growing on me. They have their hang ups but their hearts are good.

Cons

APs do not actually coach teachers. They are more concerned about timers and icons being on slides rather then model effective teaching practices. There is a definite fear culture at my school. We are ALWAYS getting threatened with being written up or having some disciplinary action taken against us. I feel like I am desensitized to it now.
