Summit Public Schools reviews

they were doing a self evaluation for racism. unrealistic expectations for staff, and students. My classroom would probably be considered a health code violation.

The Summit Learning Platform is extremely non-user-friendly and difficult to work with. No accountability for students in this system (no real due dates, endless retries) makes it hard to hold them accountable. Students are passed through grades without proving mastery of required standards, just to make room for more students in order to meet data quotas. Diversity training experience actually seemed to cause stress and alienate people from one another culturally. Lip service to work-life balance, and very clear that you're not expected to work outside of paid hours, but in actuality there's no way to complete all your required work during paid hours. Recent changes within higher management causing stressful reviews and constant observation, which doesn't actually improve education or the experience of students and teachers. Vague or inconsistent instructions -- sudden new expectations and rules are treated like they were always in place and it's the teacher's fault for not knowing that (when actually the training was very different) A lot of lip service to good culture and values, but in the end, the bottom line is data to show the higher ups in order to get money.
