Not a team work  went in excited an now I'm still not full-time and had to report a supervisor for lying on me an mistreated me and now I'm looking for a job for the summer  so I can pay my bills 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful gossiping mistreatful

A typical day was coming into class putting work on the smart part and taking thirty minutes to settle the kids down to get one problem done. I learn to be more organized and to follow the discipline policy to the letter. The administration was not supportive. They would not back teacher who had kids with repeat offenses. The work culture was great everyone was very helpful and offer great advice. The hardest part of the job was deal with the children. Most of the children were great to work with and some were hard to deal with. A lot of the kids were behind and some were past because they had failed twice. These were the kids that disrupt the class.  The most enjoyable part of the job was getting most of my students to understand the math concepts and getting the ready for the standardized testing.

A typical day substituting is working 7:45 AM-3:00 PM

I have learned how to do the following in this job:
-Create a classroom environment that is conducive to learning -Employ instructional methods that are most appropriate for meeting lesson objectives 
-Achieve curriculum goals and objectives as indicated in the lesson plans assigned

I have found it easy to work along side with other co-workers.
We all work together for the common purpose of making sure the students meet the objectives and goals planned for particular grade levels.

The hardest part of my job is being able to fulfill the objectives without having any discipline problems from the students.

The most enjoyable part of the job is working with students and making a difference in their lives. I enjoy being able to prepare them for the real world.

I like the hours that I  work as a teacher because I have a child in school so the hours coincide with mine.I love the challenge of working with children and helping them to learn new things. The children are honest anymore forgiving than adults, but they also knew when you are sincere, I believe we all have the capability to learn and I enjoy the challenge,Some children present more of a challenge than others but they are not clones they are children. I have found thus far if you make the subject interesting the kids will cooperate.

I am working as a substitute currently so therefore my schedule is flexible.I can workers much or as little as I choose. I am pursuing my teaching certificate in order to teach in a permanent position.

My typical work day is very busy and stressful.  As teachers a lot  is expected of us.  I have twenty Kindergarten students and are really challenging because of the different levels of each students.   What I have learned since I have been teaching is I must always be prepared.   We have a new principal at our school who is AWESOME!  She cares about the teachers and her students at the school.  She is always finding ways to help the kids. The hardest part of my job would be all the paperwork we have to do and they just keep adding more and more!  The most enjoyable part of my job is teaching the kids which I love and my schedule because I can get off at the same time as my daughter.  Overall, I like working for this school board, they have always tried to be fair to the teachers.

I have six classes every day and they rotate after Christmas break.  I have 6, 7, 8 grade students, two classes of each and my other eighth grade class gets high school credit and it is a Fine Arts Survey class that I have all year long.  I do several art competitions with my students throughout the year and we do a teacher exhibit too.  The hardest part is dealing with the disrespect from students and the discipline paperwork and changes on the fly.  I have learn a ton about myself and how I am as a teacher.  The workplace culture is pretty awesome, it is like we are a family.  Administration has our back a thousand percent which makes our jobs much easier.  I love my students and teaching art, something I have loved doing for a long time.

Answer all incoming call, consultants come to by to bring new orders for supplies for each school, I have five consultants and Art Supervisor to order for, and any task for the Curriculum Director, everyone is friendly, work environment is very pleasant, the hardest part is time to enter all orders and receive incoming orders, and distribute to schools, typing and bookkeeping for Art supervisor, keeping a very positive and pleasant working environment attitude is everything. The most enjoyable part I like my Consultants , and Supervisor and Curriculum Director.

My work day starts at 7:15 in the morning and ends at 3:30. What I have learned most is to work with a more diverse group of people. Management had a we are a team environment and tried really hard to obtain this protocol throughout the school. I love, love, love my co-workers even though they were all individuals, we all had the same goal in mind which is keeping the school running smoothly and doing what is best for the kids. The hardest part of the job, I would have to say the inconsistency. I just love this job, I just wished that it paid more being that I have a child of my own that's getting ready for college.

The environment/conditions are different for each school so there is really no way to predict what your experience will be like until you are in it. I guess I was just one of the unlucky ones. You are basically thrown into the job with very little support or guidance and are blamed for every little thing that goes wrong. You aren't supported when it comes to the students or the parents, so you have almost no authority in your own classroom.

I had a great team and manager working here and recommend this job especially for a college student or anyone who needs a job with work hours that are not long and in the evening. Also anyone who enjoys being around kids all day or who is interested in the education field as a career path. The only negative thing is you must be able to handle the pressure of being responsible for someone else's children and being able to treat them as you would want your own child to be treated.
