Work Environment - Centre Administrator PAP Community Foundation Employee Review

Bonuses 3x a year Stable job Multiple locations (very close to home) Tons of training available (online/f2f) Many opportunities for projects exposure

No work life balance Lots of additional and unnecessary paperwork even though lesson plans are provided (e.g. WAP, ELCP) Alot of unwritten rules to follow even though lesson plans state otherwise - No worksheets printing (but all the lesson plans include worksheets) - No printing (but all resources provided are required to be printed) - Lesson plans does not match age appropriateness (tracing and writing letter at N1 level, but the unwritten rule is children are not supposed to use pencil to write?) Learning environment has high expections, requiring all teacher-made work Classes have multiple SEN children without appropriate support (RO always say within ratio) Proposals for each and every event, requiring multiple revisions before approval Workload of teachers are not equal, some are required to do more than others while the others get to slack off without accountability even aftet feedback Non-contact time/break time are practically non existent (expected to stay in classroom even during breaktime) Often understaffed and have to stay in class to cover staff during break time due to meetings almost every other day. Rostering is not fair, said to be 2 week rotations but closing shift can be extended to more than a month. Racial favouritism, did not believe it at first but prominent after one year in.

Pay and benefits are good

Slow progression, might have a lot of “rules” imposed like no using laptops during children’s naptime but not given enough protected time to complete paperwork
