High expectations and no excuses, top to bottom - Learning Specialist Classical Charter Schools Employee Review

Pros

This network offers: Pre-written and aligned curriculum, culture of high expectations and achievement (academic and behavior), excellent and regular instructional coaching, supportive and responsive administration, dean position for behavior referrals, relevant and actionable PD, unlimited copies, and a deep, network-wide respect for teachers' work and scholars' learning time. This includes an organizational structure that supports classrooms above all. Meetings start on time, end on time and make the most of each minute. Employees' time is never wasted. The school offers -- and requires -- uncommon accountability.

Cons

Like all teaching positions, this one requires long hours. The no-nonsense culture is not a fit for all educators.

Thank you for your feedback! You did a great job highlighting some of the things that we think make our schools great. We understand that the hours are long and our culture of transparency and high expectations may not be a good fit for all, but we believe the work is worth it and are truly thankful for all of our staff who give so much of their time and energy to make our schools great. We are working on fine tuning our application and hiring processes to ensure that we are attracting the right candidates (and retaining them!).

Pros

* Teachers are provided with classroom materials and resources. * Teachers are not required to pay for or print materials on their own. * Operations team supports printing and material preparation.

Cons

* Printing machines frequently break down, causing delays and disruptions. * Teachers do not have direct access to printing and must rely on Operations. * Teacher supply requests are often limited or denied despite classroom needs. * Staff morale and student joy feel very low or nonexistent. * School leadership creates a culture of fear when data is not where it is expected to be. * There is little accountability placed on parents regarding attendance and scholar responsibilities. * Attendance policies are extremely strict for staff and students. * Spirit days lack excitement because students are often still restricted by uniform expectations. * Overall school culture can feel overly rigid and stressful rather than supportive and uplifting.
