Not enough support for teachers

Pros

Great compensation, and amazing co-workers that will go out of their way to support you.

Cons

Administration is not supportive with behaviors in the classroom. Students will disrupt the learning environment and be sent back 5 minutes later to do the same thing. The hours are very long and it is hard to have a life outside of work. Also there is not enough personnel in the building to support teachers. If someone is out and there is no sub to cover, admin will divide classes up and give other teachers 10 extra students to add to the already large class sizes. It can be very difficult to get a 2 minute bathroom break because you are in the classroom all day without support.

Pros

Great leadership that cares not only about students but about me as well. Leadership has done a lot to help set me up for success as well as grow professionally.

Cons

Not always the best at communicating. Focus on scaling rather than success.

Pros

Passionate and driven coworkers, team and family spirit, kids make every day worth it! Lesson planning is done for you and lots of organizational planning. Funding is ample, so materials are not an issue.

Cons

No sustainability-long hours, planning times taken up, limited behavior support from admin, constant meetings and PDs not always useful. No creativity because must use KIPP curriculum. Admin, headquarters, and coaches can be rigid and patronizing.
