Pros

An abundance of professional development and constant feedback allows you to grow as both a teacher and as a person. AF is truly changing the trajectory for thousands of low-income students and we genuinely believe in our mission statement that our scholars will become the next generation of leaders in their communities.

Cons

The nature of the work itself is exhausting! Staff culture seems to vary by school but the school I work at has exceptionally strong teacher morale.

Achievement First Response

Thank you so much for sharing this! It definitely brought a smile to read about your experience -- and I appreciated your candor for other people looking to learn about AF. To your point about AF graduates becoming the next generation of leaders in their communities: we just hired two AF Brooklyn High School alumni as Teachers-in-Residence. I can't wait until we have similar stories in Providence... -Tom Kaiser, Chief Talent Officer
