Doing their job and holding themselves and other accountable especially students. Honor roll incentives and academic geared rewards/parties. Stop accepting unacceptable behavior simply because they come from "harsh" backgrounds coddling these kids is not going to give them a real chance in life.
Lead teachers are paid 50k which is good if it wasnt for the constant ridiculous demands that make the work week longer. Kipp will consume your life if you want to be a good teacher and admin will do absolutely nothing to help. NOTHING!
