Pros

Wonderful students! Some great colleagues.

Cons

Poor planning, lack of communication, no consistency. Programs were implemented then abandoned too often in one school year. There does not seem to be a long-term plan. I had to work very long hours which could have been lessened with proper planning and communication by administrators.

Pros

Received rigorous training as a new teacher from alternative certification program. Many programs in place to help new teachers grow in the field.

Cons

Tough to teach inner city student population; required lots of communication with parents and constant motivation of students to stay on task and reinforcement of positive behavior
