Vantaggi
Need a break as a classroom teacher? This is a teaching position where you are placed in a private school as a reading or math intervention teacher. You are just responsible for taking small groups for intervention work. They provide a proprietary intervention curriculum. You can incorporate your own teaching ideas. No work to bring home! Great if you have young children and can't do any traditional teacher work at home.
Svantaggi
You are only paid by the hour. If your school has a break you don't get paid. You get sick time and PTO but it is not enough to cover all of the days off during the school year. You are not paid over the summer and need to apply for unemployment. Your classroom may be in a trailer. The intervention program only works for children who are one grade level below and need only a little bit of help. This will be only a few of your students. You have no other intervention programs available to work with students with other learning disabilities or issues. The program is best suited for K-4 students but goes to 8th grade. The benefits are expensive. The company is disorganized and seems disconnected from modern teaching practices.
