Avantages
- students are fantastic - overall, you learn a lot about applied behavior analysis
Inconvénients
- the environment is unprofessional and there is a lot of gossip within the workplace (even among upper admin) - you have no break, just a working lunch - you have to use your own vehicle for transportation during field trips, including weekly gym/swimming classes - feedback is not helpful or constructive. Instead of telling you what you may be doing wrong supervisors continually act aggravated with you - favoritism among upper admin - many special education teachers are not licensed/ are not planning to become licensed - there is a lack of organization and BTs graph by hand - there is little room for any professional growth - they do not utilize or take advantage of employees with certain skills/specializations. For example, not putting staff fluent in sign with students who sign, not pairing bilingual staff with students who speak the same native language
