We work in a team of two. I have enjoyed the interaction with the various high schools. My co-workers are very pleasant to work with and we share the same goals. My supervisor is very professional and at the same time a fun person.

Watching the student build their education
Campus Security Officer (Current Employee), North Denver Trevista K-8 –
Pros: good bennifits
Cons: promotions
I enjoy working for Denver Public School not only with the co-workers but also with the students, nothing more rewarding then to see one of my students graduate with honors, and this same student was in a well known gang when we first meant. With a lot of hard work both from the student, teachers, and security (myself) we help him become what he is – more...  today. – less

K-12 Public Elementary Education
4th grade teacher (Former Employee), Denver, CO –
Great teachers, lots of professional development opportunities. In a small school personality of principal dominates so choose carefully. Often extra duties are added that detract from the educational function of the teacher.

Rewarding when you see the light come on in childrens eyes.
Guest Teacher (Former Employee), Hallet Elementary School –
Pros: giving back to the community. flexible schedule.
Cons: lack of discipline, children don't know you unless you repeat schools.
Teaching at Denver Public Schools is a challenge as there are quite a few classes with at least 25 children. The Administration of the school I have been assigned to are excellent in providing a curriculum that is teachable to the children. There is a strong determination amongst the educators to provide the best learning experience as possible. With – more...  so many children, it is difficult to keep them focused. – less
