Pros

Great kids, fulfilling work, a genuine opportunity to make a meaningful difference for a group of marginalized kids, possible to feel very fulfilled and happy if you don't want to come up with your own teaching ideas- you can make a difference if you just do what you're told. While imperfect thus far, I believe Constance Jones is a good person for her position, and I think her heart is generally in the right place.

Cons

Don't believe the lie about autonomy presented here or anywhere about teaching at Noble. There is no autonomy. Any teaching done that is about anything but the SAT is frowned upon vocally, even if your class is a pre-AP or AP course that has differing goals. If you teach English, for example, you will perhaps be told you are supposed to also teach writing, but if your writing instruction gets in the way of endless SAT prep, you will be discouraged. Furthermore, management and administration at many schools, and overall, are wholly untrustworthy. You should never trust or believe them because their goals are beyond you. I truly, truly believe that, because Noble is run like a business rather than a school, they see teachers, literally all of them, as replaceable and not special. Noble is making strides to recognize teachers more, which is lovely, but at the end of the day, you are replaceable to them. You offer nothing special or unique. They are looking for teachers who will work their fingers to the bone and not ask questions.

Pros

Noble pays their teachers well.

Cons

Homogenous C-Suite. Lack of cultural competency among chiefs, managers, and teachers. A great deal of back biting and passive aggressive management styles. School culture to share real feelings in surveys versus verbalizing them to actual people.
