Pros

Great if you don’t have a teaching degree or certificate or have never taught before. Great for new general education teachers

Cons

Terrible for special education. Did not follow IEPs and very little support. For the Special Education Coordinator, two jobs are done for 1 with no time in the day. Expected to teach a full caseload and then still be able to do all the leadership responsibilities. Terrible at collaboration. Extremely cliquey and lots of favoritism towards students and staff.

Pros

Uncommon Schools is a really positive, warm environment. People work hard and have tons of joy in their collaboration!

Cons

We are growing quickly, so the work load is busy! This isn't really a con, just something for new folks to be aware of :)
