Pros

School schedule with summers off, never pulled in to substitute teach when staff call off, supportive principal, great collaboration with related service providers, good work/life balance

Cons

Needs of caseload can feel heavy at times, parent involvement is a hit or miss, not a con but some students have high level behavioral needs - physical aggression, self-injurious behaviors, property destruction, etc.

Pros

I am learning so much about how to be a good teacher, with in the classroom experience, but without the pressure of being the only teacher in the room. I will come out of this way more prepared to be a first year teacher than I would have without this residency.

Cons

I do work at home all the time. There’s no work-life balance. There are realistically only 2 planning periods per week that I can get lesson internalization and prep done, and the other 3 days we are in meetings. Tuesdays and Thursdays you’re there til 5, Wednesdays you have the CTR class in the evening. You really are just working all the time.
