What does the leadership team need to get better at?
coordinating with the community to support teachers
There is a sick pervasive cult mindset. "TFAspeak" is an actual term used to described specific phrases adopted by many of the higher ups and those who have worked in the org for several years. On the national team, there's an insidious never-good-enough mentality where praise is minimal
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
supposedly paid for "cost of labor" not "cost of living" which I've never heard of a company doing before. There are full-time employees making $10,000 below the poverty line of some cities.
Salary below market rate, anemic pay increases, no credible link between performance and rewards
