Pros

Harlem RBI provides a lot of support and resources for teachers. I have two coaches in the room with me when I teach and I have all of the supplies I need to lead lessons and Centers. There is a positive environment for learning and teachers are encouraged to be creative and think of engaging centers.

Cons

At times, information does not get relayed to all employees in time. I have found out some information at he last minute when it would have been much better to know at least a few hours in advance.

Pros

Working with the children and watching them grow individually and as teams.

Cons

The management of Harlem RBI does not listen to its lower level managers. They value diplomas over experience and basically listen blindly to anyone who has a Master's degree.
