Pros

Sweet students. Awesome teachers!

Cons

Terrible work environment. Teachers treated like children. Worked at a school where principal sent teachers to tell me to “cover up”. When I complained, was told that I was a “guest” at the school and therefore had no power. Principal would also spend his days selling cookies and pocketing the money from the community he was stealing from. It was ridiculous and unreal. Admin lied and said they would replace carpeting so that pre-k students wouldn’t get black mold poisoning in the flooded basement as in years past. Moved me out of room and placed a newer inexperienced teacher in room without ventilation and mold. Horrendous and sadly not isolated incident at this company. Other schools operate routinely in this way.

Pros

- Small groups allow strong focus on growing your instruction and differentiation skills - Exposure to multiple grades builds deep understanding of skill progression - Ability to drive meaningful student growth and maintain strong relationships

Cons

- Unstable pay and low job security (hourly, contract, funding-dependent) - when we're off for a break, or unexpected snow days, you do not get paid any of those hours. you don't know if you're hired for the next school year until mid/late August. title 1 funding cuts make the job unpredictable (significantly cut down hours with no notice- Friday notice, effective Monday) , and not secure. Hourly pay seems good until you realize you will almost never work a full 80 hours/paycheck - Heavy paperwork and misaligned responsibilities - Limited support for professional growth or leadership development - Some of the worst benefits packages I've ever seen - next to no employer investment in retirement and employer is very limited in health benefits contributions
