Pros

Work from home, excellent mobility opportunities, experienced colleagues who are willing to provide support, rigorous curriculum

Cons

following the 8 -4 typical school schedule makes this job more demanding because you have students who work during different hours and while you are not required to meet with them outside of the 8-4 schedule you feel obligated to meet their needs. Administration seems to fly by the seat of their pants at times. Enrollment for the program lasts for 12 weeks at the beginning of the school year, pulling teachers away from currently enrolled students. Rigorous curriculum, but some links do not work and directions are not clear -- teachers cannot make changes and they must be approved through a curriculum department who only updates the curriculum in the summer.
