Pros
The program is a pathway to a Master's Degree, healthcare, benefits, pension etc.
Cons
-It is possible to do all of the hard work (creating lessons, certification exams, graduate school) and not find employment. While they provide job fairs to attend, the program is NOT responsible for helping you find a job. You are completely on your own. I've seen this negatively effect many hard working partner teachers, resulting in financial troubles, debt and mental health issues. -You would be extremely lucky to have an AP or principal who is a somewhat decent person. Good luck. -Like many others, this program killed my passion of teaching. I now work in a completely different industry where people are more respectful, helpful and nicer (it is ironic how a place that claims to be so tolerant are filled with some of the meanest and coldest people)
