Pros

I got to work with some of the most amazing kids I have ever met, and it is a great opportunity to help you understand if teaching is a possible career path for you. If you have a good coordinator, as I did my first year, it can be an awesome experience. However, if you have a bad coordinator, as I did my second year it can be absolutely awful.

Cons

Leadership has you fill out questionnaires on a weekly basis, but they are not taken seriously. The pay is terrible for how hard you work and how emotionally challenging the job can be. Expect to grind it out during the year and get a job over summer because 21,000 is near impossible to live off of in Denver now.

Thank You for Your Service in Oakland Thank you for sharing your experience and for the three years you dedicated to our students in Oakland. It is wonderful to hear that you found your time as a Lead Math Fellow rewarding and that you felt supported by your colleagues. Your commitment played a vital role in helping our students build their math skills and confidence. We appreciate your honesty regarding the daily realities of working in a classroom. Supporting students through the challenges of adolescence requires immense patience and resilience. We aim to ensure our Fellows feel equipped for these moments through ongoing coaching and collaborative team support, and we value the grace you showed in navigating those disruptions to keep the focus on learning. Regarding your feedback on compensation, we understand the importance of balancing mission-driven work with the cost of living, particularly in the Bay Area. We are continuously looking for ways to enhance the overall Fellow experience—including professional development and AmeriCorps benefits like the Segal Education Award—to ensure our team feels valued for the incredible impact they make. Thank you again for your hard work and for being a part of the Blueprint community. We wish you the very best in your next chapter!
