Pros

Mastery has welcomed me with opened arms and will always be family to me. I was a student from 7th through 12th grade and to come back be an educator is a full circle moment. Mastery is an organization of opportunity and has a large network of support.

Cons

Limited space in the building. One thing I wanted to bring to Shoemaker was a Puma Pantry, one that could be set up as a hub for students to get supplies, snacks, toiletries, clothes and more. It would a hub where staff and family could donate. I also wanted to find away for students to use merits to purchase items. However, that wasn’t able to happen this school year because there wasn’t a single available room in the building. As testing coordinator, I noticed how this created challenges when it comes to having a secured testing room or even in situations where teachers may need to move classrooms.

Thanks so much for your feedback. It's so great to hear about your journey at Mastery - first as a student and now as an educator dedicated to your students. We strive to provide opportunities for all staff, and students, to grow and push themselves with our support and resources. We appreciate your ideas on how to improve our campuses, and think the Puma Pantry is a great idea and shows your commitment to serving our students and their families. We understand your concerns about limited space, and will lift that up to the team. Additionally, thank you for your insights on leadership development and congratulations on being greenlit to serve as an your promotion to APO! We agree that hands-on opportunities for greenlit candidates could help create a smoother transition, and this is a suggestion we'll definitely be bringing to our leadership team.

Pros

Since returning to Mastery as an employee, the support, guidance, and professional development I’ve received have been truly invaluable. The culture here is exceptional, and it makes coming to work each day a genuinely refreshing experience.

Cons

One of the most rewarding aspects of this role is that I genuinely don’t have any significant cons to share. While every job comes with challenges, I’ve found the support, culture, and opportunities for growth here to far outweigh any day-to-day difficulties. It’s been a consistently positive experience.

Pros

The expecations at Mastery are high. However, you're surrounded by other adults who are working just as hard, and who are focused on creating the best outcomes for students. I worked at Mastery early in my career and left for other opportunities. It has been refreshing to return to Mastery and see how focused the orgainzation is on supporting teachers to drive outcomes in the classroom.

Cons

Work life balance can be difficult to maintain.

hanks so much for your thoughtful review! We're so happy you choose to return to Mastery and it's great to hear how dedicated your team is to pursuing student achievement. We believe in a "high expectations, high support" environment for staff and students, and aim to provide enough resources and guidance for everyone to succeed. We also hear your feedback on maintaining a good work-life balance, as we recognize this is an area we can continue to improve upon. We've recently made some changes to improve this balance, such as incorporating a "burn in" mindset for staff, but will continue to prioritize this, if you have any specific ideas please don't hesitate to share them with us at recruitment@masterycharter.org. Appreciate all that you do!
