Pros
Dedicated teachers, some of whom are incredibly innovative. Beautiful facilities.
Cons
The headline was inspired by a direct quote from a student. I wish Ednovate put as much effort into developing their teachers, staff, and schools as they do the branding. Ednovate has made mistakes TWICE on my payroll and there are few opportunities for salary increases. The stipends that are provided are heavily taxed and always more work than it is worth. Teachers and students are constantly incentivized to write positive reviews on various platforms in exchange for raffles or prizes. I have been observed once in my four years at the school and have never been given critical feedback to grow. Thankfully I had teaching experience elsewhere, otherwise this is not a network to become a better educator. Some veteran educators/staff at the network run the risk of becoming too comfortable and never being held accountable. Many promotions are from within the network and people are hesitant to hold their friends accountable. This is often frustrating for those of us with fewer years at the network than others.
