Challenging, Memorable Experience

Site leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I was a freshman in college, and this experience really pushed me out of my comfort zone to lead the site, coordinate with staff, parents, and learn to manage a classroom.

Cons

I believe I just needed a bit more guidance before walking into being a site leader and teacher, I had a difficult time managing the classroom and keeping up the energy during recess and lunch. However, my colleagues and supervisor were supportive and I learned a lot.
