Pluspunten
-I have a strong and amazing manager (there are so many who fit that description at AF) -AF has always been willing to invest in my professional development -Working with families and scholars!!! (Huge bonus!!!) -Working alongside people who are deeply invested in the success of our scholars and work as a TEAM -AF is willing to look at short falls as learning moments from which to build and to grow -You get routine feedback and support to help you develop on a day to day basis, not just during Days of Practice or beginning of year professional development sessions
Minpunten
-Long hours- especially at the school (having your own babies or young children is hard when working school hours) -Very real growing pains as we look at our diversity, inclusiveness and grapple with what it means to be/how to be an anti-racist organization --it is hard to be IN the process but honestly, this could also be a "pro" because AF is choosing to actively be IN the process. -long commute to some of our schools in East NY, if you live in Manhattan/downtown Brooklyn, which is salient since the school day starts at 7:15 with scholars and you often need to be there earlier
