What a shame - Teacher New Way Academy Employee Review

community is positive, solutions-oriented, and supportive!

limited cons to list. this is a great place to work

Inclusive Environment: Students are treated as individuals rather than 'problem' cases, creating a safe and supportive learning atmosphere. Whole-Child Focus: Teachers are dedicated to seeing beyond test scores and behaviors to support the student's entire well-being. Exceptional Accommodations: The school offers much more flexibility and support for diverse learning needs than traditional public or private schools.

Lack of Integrity & Transparency: Administration prioritizes "painting a picture" for families over actual follow-through. There is a significant lack of transparency regarding curriculum fidelity and evidence of student growth. Curriculum Deficiencies: There is no cohesive math curriculum in use, leading to a total lack of vertical alignment across grade levels. Misleading Value: Despite high tuition and claims of specialized "amplifications," there is little proof of these services being delivered with consistency or quality. Misplaced Priorities: While Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is a high priority, it is often used as a smokescreen to mask academic failures and the lack of qualified teaching staff. Retaliatory Culture: When leadership fails, they are quick to shift blame onto teachers, often resulting in demotions or forcing staff out. Advocacy Required: Families should be wary of administrative "word-smithing" and must maintain documented proof and high levels of advocacy to ensure needs are met.
