What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?It would be great if they were trained properly to work with others, teachers and students alike.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Compensation is not all that bad but teachers usually get paid once per month partly because payroll for thousands of teachers takes time. With Elevate you are a contractor, paid cash. And you're still paid once per month.
