Sped teacher - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso C.O.R.E. Academy

Great communication with managers and team

Great school, no cons in my opinion.

Autonomy to teach and create individualized lessons without the pressure to meet learning deadlines. Lots of professional development opportunities. Financial approval for classroom activities, materials, and trips with a small proposal. They try to place you with the grade level at which you are best suited. There are generous yearly bonuses and benefits.

Lack of communication from and limited support from administrators. There is no set curriculum for high school. Limited reading resources. No reading or math specialist. No progress monitoring tools for reading and math for tier 3 students. Too many family members at this facility (caution of employee gossip, including administrators). Paraprofessionals are more like security. Administrators have zero training on the fundamentals of being a paras. The paraprofessionals prefer to walk around the building rather than assist the teachers and students with learning and classroom organization. You are alone in the classroom at least 75% of the time. No breaks, and lunch is in the classroom with students.
