Maybe a first year teacher would be best in this situation. This is just not the best situation for anyone with experience. What they aren't telling the new hires is that if you don't find enough students to pay for their guarantee they take it out of your bonus next year and you could end up making even less than you are making this year. The pay was low enough but then they decided to go with the monthly "gurantee" for new hires.
It's impossible to fix a 15 year old who hasn't been working well in school all of his childhood, but the people at Epic expect miracles or they cut you. They expect you to fix their kids and the way they do their work online. I drove through traffic both ways, I was never compensated for extra time. I started meeting people in public places so I would at least have something to do while I waited for them to show up. This meant I would have to drive out 11 different places and see kids who may not even be there when I arrived. I was given 27 students of which 11 were literally an hours drive from my home and I was expected to go see them at least every other week. No big deal, just get it done and move on.Īt first, it sounded great, working from home, being able to set your own hours. To accomplish this mission, we are proud to partner with Epic Charter Schools in Oklahoma and offer an innovative, personalized learning option to empower. These are things required from higher ups that in any job position I've ever been in. I will always view items that schools require me to do that takes me away from the classroom and my students as negative - paperwork and pressure to get things done ASAP even if the deadline is months away. There is a lot of allowance for teachers to just be teachers and make teaching educational, fun and adaptive to students in ways that are often restricted in a regular school. There are a lot of resources provided for students and staff (sometimes a bit too much), and you're allowed to use your own/known resources for students.
I like the flexibility and ability to teach my students how they need and not what someone else says. Like with any position always negative and positive elements to a workplace. But I absolutely love working with 1:1 element of Epic and cannot speak for the BLC. I am teaching in the Epic 1:1 position not their BLC sits- I do not know anything about working at the site.
