Admin Really Cares & Supports you
Pros
NOTE: This is the Venture Academy Located by the U of M in Minnepolis, MN *Admin works with and trusts the professional, licensed teachers to do their job correctly. *Staff is supportive and really cares for the students. No one is there just because they couldn't find somewhere better, they want to be there. *Admin wants to hear feedback and make the school better. *This isn't one of those schools that are just trying to get heads in the door so they can get paid for them, they want to make sure a student is actually a good fit and will thrive at Venture.
Cons
*Need more teacher training and observations with feedback to help teachers get better in their craft. *Behavior is a bit out of control sometimes and there is no "No-phone" policy so teachers don't have the support they need to eliminate inappropriate tech use. *Behavior teem doesn't do their job, there is rarely follow-up with teachers about behavior incidents. Kids want to go to the detention room because the behavior team gives them pizza and candy and kids can use their phones.
