Q&A With Uplift Education Employees

Horrible, you barely get any vacation time, and when you do, they make you feel guilty about taking it

Rarely and you have to do your own review

Never felt secure, always being complained about your work

People who don’t have a life outside the school

Constant and totally interrupts your class teaching time

Impossible

Everything about teaching at Uplift is challenging

Horrible, all they are about taking school test scores and matrix’s and statistics

That they don’t pay enough for how hard you are expected to work and that if you are assaulted by a student, like I was, they sweep it under the rug, and expect you to just get over it

Low. Most people want to leave or are frustrated with the management or how we are treated or what their expectations are for things they want completed and prepared every week, along with teaching and speaking to parents

A lot

Typical school building

The same as regular schools, just insurance and the trs plan that you get anywhere else. And they don’t pay as well as public school or even most private schools

It was fine, but working there is not fun, or fulfilling, or pleasant. There is no support from your supervisors or the principals

Maybe an hour

I don’t understand the question

I heard from the vice principal the same day, but they were and are usually desperate to find teachers to hire, because typically people want to leave after a year or two

You must prepare a 20 minutes lesson, then present/teach it to the principal and vice principals. Then you are asked basic interview questions about your skills, best qualities, worst qualities, etc.

The interview requires you to prepare a lesson plan and then teach it for 20 minutes to both vice directors and the principals, then you get asked the basic interview questions

Basic interview clothes, or anything you would wear teaching, but no jeans

The questions weren’t that difficult, but once you’re hired you are expected to know everything.
