Pros

University Instructors focuses its efforts toward providing a system of supports to K-12 educators, especially those in Title 1 Schools across a multi-state area. There is a strong sense of altruism in the mission to provide reinforcement to beleaguered teachers and school staff. The instructional staff are from a cross-section of backgrounds, not simply education. The University Instructors contract associate employment model allows individuals from all walks of life to use their knowledge and skills in under-served school communities.

Cons

Those choosing to work for the company need to understand the potential environment in which they will work. Title 1 schools in major metropolitan areas are staffed by dedicated but often burned out teachers and administrators who have been on the short end of the support stick for year after year. At first, there is a lot of suspicion when a UI instructor arrives and it takes time to win their trust. It takes a special type of individual to consistently work in these environments. There is also a lack of effective data gathering - mostly because the schools will not provide the information - which results in a gap between the interventions and the knowledge about what does and does not work. Most of the data ends up being anecdotal, which is very common in the K-12 community.
