Finding Balance in Teaching Environment - High School Teacher Cardinal Spellman High School Employee Review

Collaborative environment, where everyone helps each other.

Smaller staff, so a lot of extra responsibilities.

Good colleagues Freedom to manage the classroom using your own teaching style Strong, growing sense of Catholic culture and long-term vision for both students and new faculty hires Majority of students want to learn bring positive attitudes and improve school culture

Disorganized, often last-minute scheduling Underpaid for extracurricular service Entrenched attitudes and bitterness/unhelpful nostalgia among older faculty Some tension between faculty and administration Large classes (30+ students) make it hard to give individual instruction for students who deserve it
