The administration at NASD needs to make more effort to seek professional development to better support their staff. They need more knowledge and training in regards to teaching and learning. They need to connect more directly with teachers in the district (not just via email or formal meetings). Communication is also very lacking, especially at the highest levels of administration. Principals need to be better informed on best instructional practices. 

The Academy is comprised of strong group of teachers that are capable if teaching and working with students who have emotional & behavioral problems. The staff is well supported and is able to reach and help many students who otherwise were not able to coexist the general population of students. It is a challenging position due to the severity of the behavioral issues that may arise during the day, but it is also very rewarding.

I learned each year with the district to be a more well rounded person with the staff and students. The student population is very diversed. The hardest part about the job is not getting the support needed when working with students. The most enjoyable part of this job is working with the kids. Getting to know them and helping them be the best they can be in the classroom and and life.

I worked at the elementary level to middle school level and as a Long Term Substitute and paraprofessional.  I loved the staff at the schools I was in.  They were so dedicated to their job and the students.  It's not an easy place to be some times, but it's worth the effort and time put into it.  Education in general is different now from when I was teaching there, but the rewards are still wonderful!

I had multiple positions at Norristown due to being bilingual. I started as the Disciplinary Secretary for school months and in the summer time I worked at the administration building as a Human Resource Assistant/Secretary as well as an Transportation Secretary and lastly Registration Assistant.

Great place to work.  Suburban Urban environment.  Good benefits   However, more minority teachers are needed to meet the cultural demands of the district.

This was a job with the school district.  The pay wasn't great, but I liked working with the kids.  It was like working with a team.  Teachers, Paras, administration, everybody worked together.  I would have stayed with this job for a long time, but unfortunately I was only a long term sub.

If you are looking to work at an establishment where you are not valued, respected, or appreciated, please apply to work at NASD.  

The leadership team at NASD does not care about the staff and students of the district.

They do not pay you a livable sustainable wage and the paras have to deal with if not more verbal abuse and disrespect from students. This place is more of “put a band aid on the problem “ instead of fixing it. A lot of things are allowed that don’t make sense to me in the school. 

Norristown does not deserve the bad reputation that it receives, but like all schools, there is an issue with too much work, not enough time. Most teachers teach 120-140 students a day (six classes) but block scheduling is being put in to place for 2020-2021.
