Elementary Teacher - Elementary Teacher Connections Academy Employee Review

Wonderful place to work. Flexibility, teacher benefits are great, great learning environment for students and teachers.

Not your traditional teaching role. It helps if you have additional administrative skills, record keeping, data base entry, etc.

> Mainly remote, go into office once a month. > Pay is amazing! Bonuses are not guaranteed but I have received one every year I have been employed. > SPED Department is particularly helpful and are the BEST department in the school. If you do want to work here, aim for SPED. > Preset curriculum by Pearson although I would not recommend it.

> Work overload (expect to work well into the afternoons on only daily tasks) > Leadership can be clique-ish and prioritizes teachers that are willing to overwork or sacrifice personal time to carry out teaching duties. > Leadership will use guilt tripping tactics on employees when concerns about overload and stress management are brought up; will emphasize that you became a teacher "because you love kids and should be willing to do whatever for them" even if it means jeopardizing yourself. > Leadership seems based more on who you know, rather than what you can do. No linear career progression. > Lack of student accountability, blame is primarily on you despite lack of student engagement or expectations set by the school.
