Great colleagues but confusing administration - Recensione dipendente - Maths Teacher presso DC Public Schools

Opportunities to develop, supportive and collaborative coworkers

At times a lack of timely communication

Culture varies by school, but district leadership assesses principal's ability to form healthy culture and replaces principals when necessary. My school's culture is much stronger under a relatively new person/ Salary is robust, better than comparable places, though not enough to work in a really challenging school with weak culture. (But great if you're at a well-run school!) IMPACT is allegedly controversial but I appreciate the opportunity for merit pay.

District-provided resources vary dramatically in quality. City politics are too involved in schools. Parents direct their political energy towards advocating for schools in a way that is well-intentioned but oftentimes misinformed. Very DC.
