Pros

I was allowed the creative freedom to write my own lessons and curriculum maps.

Cons

Management was completely incompetent. They never communicated with teachers because they were afraid their incompetence would "get out." Ultimately, they expected everyone else to do their jobs. Horrible! This is what happens when upper management salaries are cut!

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
