Casual Racism - SPED Teacher Metta School Employee Review

We enjoy the same bonus payout as civil servants. Official working hours is short, 7+ hours. Paid school holidays but staff seminar week can be long. AHP department is nice and helpful though it’s lacking in manpower. There’s budget given to us to purchase classroom supplies.

Burnout is real due to the amount of prep work and paperwork. We have to wear multiple hats, especially in this school, besides CCAs, we have separate Performing Arts and Visual Arts classes. And yes, we do have to organise school events and celebrations as well. Beware of the toxic culture and high stress levels in the A Junior program; the former and current (deputy) heads, are notorious for driving people away. The turnover is unusually high — almost all the teachers left after completing their DISE bond. Promotion of our sped grades (and salary) is rather biased too. There is also a lack of professional development in this school; p, vps, heads and STs don’t seem competent enough to guide and lead us in teaching. But I must say the numeracy curriculum developer delivered an informative pd workshop during the year-end seminar, and he’s always very helpful and responsive; it’s a pity that he had left too.

Good teachers and enjoying being with the students
