It's an opportunity to work with and have a positive impact on children.

There are a lot of wonderful people in education who have big hearts.

I have learned to be flexible, be part of a team, be highly organized, multi-task, and wear many different hats.

The hardest part of the job is that there is no increase in pay, no matter how hard you work.

Unfortunately with budget cuts, its not guaranteed when you apply to advance.

• Assist in managing the classroom setting
• Provide learning experiences that promote cognitive, social and emotional development
• Assist teacher with creating and implementing lesson plans

Worst teaching experience...EVER! It's unfortunate that the children of Duval County are not getting the education they deserve.

I enjoyed working with elementary students as well as the babies. I really enjoyed interacting with them and finding creative ways to play. The hardest part of my job is when I decided to further my education, which resulted in me leaving them.

Unless you are tenured they move you around several times a year because of a point system devised by the DTU. They do not train office staff properly as they do not coordinate for the trainers having the summer off and coming back when school starts. This goes for all new clerical (non-teaching) staff positions.

A typical day at work was based on what and who I substituting for.

Great district in which to gain the experience and skills needed to excel in the education field. Provided wonderful opportunities through professional development to meet and gain knowledge and best practices.

Teaching allowed me to share a wealth of experience with the students. Lesson Plans were most often available and easy to follow.
Management was supportive and encouraging. Co-workers pleasant and helpful.

Hardest part maintaining discipline. (Only a few children.) Best part teaching and interacting with the students.

A job with security no not much room for advancement or pay increase.

Built an excellent rapport with students and parents
My classroom data reflected that 43% of students that I taught made significant gains in their academic core classes

I enjoyed working for this entity. My experience taught me several negative and positive things that I can apply to my future career

Fast pace working with students and administrators.

The staff and work as a team for the betterment of our students.

The hardest part of my job is locating a parent to pick up their ill child. They have the tendency to provide us with the wrong phone number or proper emergency contact person.

The most enjoyable part is my relationship with the students – more... and the positive reinforcement I am able to provide. – less

Helping students with homework and class work and any other work the need help. I love working with kids and i cant say anything bad about my coworkers.

Working with students on a daily basis. I learned compassion from being around the students who needed me. My co-wokers were excellent. The hardest part of my job was getting attached to the students and then having to leave when the job was over.

There is no such thing as a typical day. Working with students, you never know what you will get. Some days are more challenging then others but everyday is rewarding. This job definitely requires preparation and the ability to adjust objectives on the fly according to the needs of the students. The people that work here are some of the most extraordinary – more... people one could ever meet. Everyone is pleasant, easy to get along with and always willing to help. The hardest part of this job is making it in to work because once here, everything else falls into place. The most enjoyable part of this job is the feeling of accomplishment when the students learn! – less

When I first went into education I knew I was making a financial sacrifice compared to other fields, but I thought that the great benefits and job security would balance it all out in the end. Unfortunately in the seven years I have been teaching there has nothing short of an onslaught against our benefits.

This year taking into account my cost of – more... health benefits which has risen in price by 100% in seven years I will actually be making LESS money than I was when I was a new hire. I simply cannot continue to work for a system that does not value its dedicated employees – less
