Pros

Other teachers at KIPP Academy Boston are very passionate about their work. Families are invested in the education their students are receiving

Cons

Hours are 7 am - 5 pm with only 1.5 hours of "planning time" off during the day, coaching is substantially less than suggested in interviews and on-boarding, some administrators are largely absent from the day to day workings of the school, even if you don't have much experience they expect you to design and implement your own curriculum from scratch with very little support
