Pros

For me at least, work life balance is pretty manageable, especially as a teacher. I also have been able to build strong rapport and relationships with staff at my school.

Cons

While I have a fairly decent work-life balance, that's definitely not the case for everyone. I think we are in a place where we could be at the forefront of making a change to teacher work culture - that our mental, physical and emotional well-being is just as important as our students. I feel that many of those that have been around for a while have this "well we did it that way so you do it too" which is not the case. Many of us put in 40+ hours into our work we don't need the added pressure of not being able to care for ourselves. Additionally, learn how to train staff. My biggest gripe is those in leadership roles are so far removed from the classroom that they make decisions that adversely affect teachers and staff because they failed to get our input. Also, for the number of Black and LatinX students that we serve, the staff/teachers are not always reflective of that - and the students see it. It is especially stark we intersect power, privilege and whiteness and what that means disciplining and building a rapport with these students. Noble should do more work to change this within their school system.

Noble Schools Response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest review of Noble. As you may know, Noble just hired our first Chief Equity Officer, so we agree with you that DEI needs to be more purposeful part of our hiring, retention ,and training processes at Noble -- and it will continue to be. It's essential to the students, families ,and communities we serve. I'm also proud to share that for the last 2 school years, 50% of our teachers have identified as a person of color, and this year, 62% of all Noble staff identify as a person of color. This means that, as a network, our students are engaging with and learning from more role models who look like them. With that said, there's always room for growth. I'd love to continue this conversation if you're interested at careers@nobleschools.org.
