Pros

The hugs and smiles of the kids you work with

Cons

Not enough staff to deescalate situations, 1 teacher per 3-5 students with emotional disabilities who tend to fly off the handle and become abusive not only to the students but staff as well. If you aren't a part of the clique then you are a moving target. If you question whether the job is right for you or not, you get called by HR and are informed that you work for an "at will company". There are teachers and 1:1 aids dating, gossip about other employees, teachers that are not Pro-Act trained and yet stand there expect you to deescalate a crisis situation when they are the trigger! The director and upper management staff are by no means professional. They offer no support, no professional development to staff, nothing! They are not out to help these students, they are out for the money!

Pros

My supervisor was supportive, attentive, and respectful. Her weekly meetings were helpful, and supplies were ordered promptly.

Cons

Our funding was abruptly cut by the government. I was given no warning. All communications ceased from that day.

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
