Venture Academy - Director Venture Academy Employee Review

NOTE: This is the Venture Academy Located by the U of M in Minnepolis, MN *Admin works with and trusts the professional, licensed teachers to do their job correctly. *Staff is supportive and really cares for the students. No one is there just because they couldn't find somewhere better, they want to be there. *Admin wants to hear feedback and make the school better. *This isn't one of those schools that are just trying to get heads in the door so they can get paid for them, they want to make sure a student is actually a good fit and will thrive at Venture.

*Need more teacher training and observations with feedback to help teachers get better in their craft. *Behavior is a bit out of control sometimes and there is no "No-phone" policy so teachers don't have the support they need to eliminate inappropriate tech use. *Behavior teem doesn't do their job, there is rarely follow-up with teachers about behavior incidents. Kids want to go to the detention room because the behavior team gives them pizza and candy and kids can use their phones.

Opportunity to help others and make a positive impact on the lives of kids and families. Venture's focus and priority is the kids and families Rewarding work Great team work

Work can be challenging at times. Wish we had more staff.
