Pros
You have the opportunity to impact the lives of so many students. Ability to work with extremely smart, talented and driven people. Great experience creating metrics and using data to support your results. Overall great experience!
Cons
Finding work/life balance is key. Summer Institute is extremely intense. Average amount of sleep per night is about 3 hours (it does prepare you for the classroom experience because preparing each lesson can become very time consuming). Salary is based on placement school district.

Pros
You get to impact kid's lives everyday. You will receive continual training and support throughout your first two years of teaching. You will be able to attend training in the evenings and on the weekends. You will also have people who will come into your classroom and watch you teach. They will give you real time feedback that you can use to improve your teaching. You will have lots of opportunities to bond with the...
