Pros

I loved the opportunity to a part of positive change in this community. There are ample opportunities for professional development and personal growth. I had tremendous amount of support with curriculum resources. If the students needed it, it was provided. Technology resources were a priority and provided; along with the necessary support to use them.

Cons

Cons are high stakes testing and the pressure that trickles down from the top. This pressure made it hard to keep in mind that I am a child advocate and the reasons I became a teacher.
