Poor Administration, Low Job Satisfaction - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso The Rashi School

I am new to the school and absolutely love it. It has a real community feel. People have been very welcoming and I have been supported since I was accepted to work there.. The teachers are very busy, but they are generally happy and love what they do. Most of the staff has been at Rashi for over a decade. I am so glad I found this school! They are helping me to learn so much, and I know I will be a better teacher because I'm here.

The pay could be better, but it's a wonderful place so I don't mind. Teachers everywhere struggle with salary issues, and there are benefits to working here besides money. Personally, I'd rather have the support of the administrators and my fellow teachers (and the parents!) than more money. I'd rather be happy in my job than get paid a little more but be miserable. Because it is a Jewish school, there is less religious and racial diversity than other schools. However, it feels like there are people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and they have a really cool Social Justice program that helps kids understand the importance of diversity and inclusion. They want to make a difference in the world.

Teachers and most staff are committed to educating youths. It is a close knit community that builds on each others' strengths and gives good opportunities. I learned a lot in my time there. If you are starting out as a teacher, it is a good place to start. Student body is for the most part respectful and there are a lot of resources available to aid children.

The salary is low for the amount of work they expect from you. Not all of their projected views on social justice are carried out due to the higher administrative end. If you are looking to become a lead teacher, there aren't many opportunities.
