Ethical Culture Fieldston School

I was not very supported at all during the time I worked here. I was thrown into an environment all by myself without any real colleagues to depend on. I supervised too many underlings, some of whom weren't competent, but even though I hadn't hired those people, I was responsible for giving them feedback and trying to compensate for their shortcomings. In spite of having a very productive year with intense parental approval and happy, healthy students learning as if all was normal, I was cast aside at the end of the year, in spite of there being open positions for which I was qualified. Everyone acknowledges the hypocrisy of the school pretending to be focused on DEIJ work (and bullying teachers into confessionals about where they are falling short) in spite of having very few students of color. 

A working day found me creating curriculum, coaching and collaborating with teachers, teaching daily lessons, and collaborating with a team of math specialists. My co-workers were warm and supportive, the management trusted that I knew what I was doing and left to do my job. The greatest thing I learned was a reinforcement of something I have been working on for years; how to collaborate with strong willed defensive teachers, who actually want to learn but are resistant to change. As always from my many years in education, the most enjoyable part of my job was the students, and their joyful glee in the process of learning.

I was the Graphic Communications Manager for the school system and a Graphic Arts Teacher. I did the printing for 3 schools and taught classes 10 hours a week. I was the printing manager so I worked with a budget ordered paper and supplies and took care of the 7 printing machines. I worked with a design student who set up  the computer projects. I also did Desktop Publishing on the computers using Adobe Pagemaker and Photoshop software. There wash't a hard part of the job, because I enjoyed what I was doing. The most enjoyable part was getting benefits and vacation time which saved me a lot of money.

Most unethical school I have ever worked at! Nasty colleagues for the most part all who gossip. Administration doesn't care about the teachers. Too many administrators in one building all with big salaries, some of which do nothing. They pride themselves on their academics, they are falling behind other schools. They don't have enough of the arts and cut down on the Spanish program. 

I honestly loved working at ethical andf if I could go back I would. It was a great working environment with awesome people who care about the welfare of the students. It was an experience that I really enjoyed and the benefits (free lunch, amazing healthcare) were definitely worth it.

This school doesn’t have great service and when asked for assistance it wasn’t thoroughly provided. The manager left early without my acknowledgment and therefore was not able to fill out the paper timesheet. I was not able to clock in or out on my app due to the school’s service being poor.
