Pros

I had the BEST principal and school admin/leadership team. I had amazing coworkers and there were instructional coaches to help teachers be the best version of themselves in classrooms. The district had amazing professional development options and I really liked the new Fine Arts Director. She always got our input on what kind of professional development we wanted.

Cons

The pay did not match my cost of living needs and I had to move to find a more affordable cost of living situation.

Thanks for the review! We're thrilled you enjoy the students, teachers, and time off. We understand compensation is important and encourage you to visit our careers page to learn more about our full benefits package. We're always looking for ways to improve and have recently implemented the option for instructional assistants to opt out of annualized pay so that you are paid for the time you worked each month and it's not spread over 12 months. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to look for ways to improve our support for instructional assistants.
