Pros

-Autonomy in and out of the classroom -Consistent and valuable professional development -Clear goals and measures -Each campus has it's own feel and different paths to achieve results -You are surrounded by all different personalities and hard working adults, yet all on the same journey to provide a strong education and immense opportunities for students

Cons

-Time commitment is rather large - There's an 'all hands on deck' mentality where staff is asked to step up and lead a myriad of jobs other than teaching

Pros

This is a great place to work if you believe that all students deserve a high-quality education and you're willing to put in the effort to make it happen. You'll work with like-minded people who believe in their students and want to improve the quality of education in Chicago. The students and staff are amazing which makes for a phenomenal school culture.

Cons

Be prepared for long work days and working on the weekends. Staff not very racially diverse.

An Amazing, Dedicated Team

Pros

- All of the teachers at Noble Street Charter Prep (the original campus) would be superstars at a regular school. They value each other, and put the students first. - Improvement as an educator is taken seriously, and not tied to performance review. I have an instructional coach in my class weekly (with debriefings after), and I genuinely WANT her to see my most challenging classes so we can collaborate on how to improve learning - Administration is caring, approachable, and skilled. One member of admin once told me, "you and I are equally valuable to the students - we're just doing different jobs." With that kind of humility and focus, it really brings the whole community together.

Cons

-A lot is demanded of you in terms of time and energy. If ever there is a way to improve student learning, be expected to be held accountable to make it work.
