Two Rivers Public Charter School Reviews

They do not invest or value non instructional or support staff as much as lead teachers. Communication between leadership & employees can be severely lacking at times. There are lead teachers there who are not as structured or collaborative & instead of looking at them & partner teacher dynamics, they fire or allow assistant teachers to quit. There is no discipline structure, & although they attempt to accommodate every child, it borders on allowing students to get away with anything. Assistant Teachers do not get any breaks whatsoever. You accompany students to all specials & if the teacher is absent you are the sub for that class.

3 hour long PD sessions with limited training or beneficial workshops for assistant teachers. Communication with administration is not easily accessible. When receiving feedback or support from administration, it can be one-sided. Administration does not grasp how assistant teachers are not fully supported school wide. Administration does not stress the importance of assistant teachers to lead teachers- you could end up working with a teacher that only allows you to make copies vs. becoming more involved in the daily planning. Your growth there is dependent on where they see you fit. Assistant teachers can be placed in any grade level with teachers who are polar opposite with you, making it uncomfortable and stressful to work with them. Compensation is very low for the amount of work we complete.
