Pros

Strong teacher support and resources Impactful work with noticeable student growth Appreciative and responsive leadership Positive, mission-driven culture Opportunities for professional development Working at NEI has been an incredible experience. The support they offer to teachers and students goes above and beyond anything I’ve seen in public school systems. From curriculum resources to professional development, everything is designed with growth and impact in mind. What truly stands out is the investment NEI makes in its charter school students—what they provide far surpasses what traditional public schools often can. It’s powerful to be part of a mission-driven organization that believes in equity and innovation. On top of that, the company culture is supportive, appreciative, and encouraging. As an employee, I feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Cons

Fast-paced environment (can be a lot if you’re not used to change) High expectations (but fair and rewarding) Still growing, so some systems/processes are evolving

Pros

1. **Hands-On Administrative Support** The administration team at NEI is highly involved and accessible. They don't just set expectations—they actively support teachers in achieving them. Whether it's through frequent classroom check-ins, collaborative planning, or real-time problem-solving, the leadership is present and invested in both student and teacher success. 2. **Strong Family Engagement** NEI prioritizes authentic partnerships with families. Regular communication, family events, and shared goal-setting create a school culture where parents are active participants in their child’s education. This engagement strengthens the classroom dynamic and builds trust between school and home. 3. **Culture of Accountability** At NEI, accountability is a shared value—not just something teachers are expected to uphold. Students are responsible for their own learning, parents are engaged in supporting growth, and the leadership team holds itself accountable for providing the resources and support needed for success. This balanced approach fosters a high-performing, supportive environment for all. 4. **Empowerment in Leadership** As a Lead Teacher, you're not just managing a classroom—you’re helping shape the instructional vision of the school. NEI empowers Lead Teachers to mentor colleagues, drive data-informed instruction, and be part of decision-making processes that impact the whole school community. 5. **Mission-Driven Environment** NEI is deeply committed to its mission, and that sense of purpose is felt across the school. Staff, students, and families are aligned in working toward meaningful academic and personal growth, making the work both challenging and deeply rewarding.

Cons

1. **Growing Pains of a Newer School** As NEI continues to expand, it faces the typical challenges of a growing organization—adjusting systems, refining procedures, and scaling school culture. This can sometimes lead to inconsistencies or the need for quick pivots as the school adapts in real time. 2. **High Expectations and Fast Pace** The work is rigorous and fast-moving. With a strong focus on results and accountability at every level, Lead Teachers are expected to juggle instructional leadership, classroom management, and team collaboration—all while driving student achievement. 3. **Limited Resources at Times** Like many growing schools, NEI may occasionally face limitations in materials, staffing, or space. Flexibility and creative problem-solving are often required to meet student needs despite these constraints. 4. **Ongoing Change and Development** With NEI still solidifying some of its structures and systems, policies and priorities can evolve quickly. This dynamic environment can be exciting, but also challenging for those who prefer more established routines or long-term consistency. 5. **Heavy Time Commitment** Lead roles often require extended hours, especially during key times of the year. Balancing instructional duties, leadership responsibilities, and family engagement efforts can be demanding.

Pros

** Best staff support and training I have experienced. ** I love the community model, and the flexible seating for the students. ** The technology access for teachers, staff, and students are amazing. IPads for each student, and Apple computers for the staff is such a perk. ** I love that I am eligible for performance bonuses every year! This year I received a retention bonus, and a bonus when our students achieved their growth goals for the first semester. ** Ms. Sherry Hage is a wonderful CEO who cares deeply for each of her students, her teachers, staff, and the parents. You can hear it in her voice when she speaks the passion she has for all to succeed. ** My principal, Ms.Teresa Brown is the greatest principal I've ever worked for. She is one who is always welcoming, inviting, and professional. She continues to provide the school with a positive energy, pouring into every student. She takes the time to greet all her students with love and praise, yet holding them accountable for academics and behaviors as well. She continues to pour positivity into the staff daily, and making sure all know that its a "team effort" daily. ** The entire NEI staff team of Tamara Abbott, Dr. Eve Carney, Jenelle Robinson, Eric Lewis, Teresa Ellison, Mohammed Hossain, Janika Blair, Corbet Wilson, and Jake Lewis are nothing short of an all star cast assembled together to make sure each employee of NEI has the tools needed to be successful. Each member knows you by name, checks on you regularly which truly makes me feel valued as an employee.

Cons

I am pleased overall with NEI.
