none . I worked there for six years. I did many jobs. I met many good teachers.

Teachers and Assistants should be valued equally and not treated differently.

A struggling school district subjecting teachers to more and more demands

Very diverse; meet the needs of each child by building on their strengths. Enjoy the people and children I work with.

you have summers off. There is no place for religion in this setting. The system works for its self

A typical day at work in Minneapolis Public School's Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) consisted of everything from budget development, collaborating with community partners, coaching and supervision of staff, and visiting classrooms and talking to parents.

The hardest part of the job was to ensure quality programming and maintaining skilled – more... and knowable staff with downward spiraling budgets.

The most enjoyable part of the job was working with skilled, committed staff to ensure that our parents and children received quality educational service. – less

I enjoy the work. Unloading trucks and doing the distributing of product.

My days working at MPS consisted of the same tasks daily for the most part. I was only there for a short two weeks with knowledge of the temporary short willed task at hand. Myself and one other temp worked together daily filing student documents in their correct files. With importance of matching the student ID to the students file in an efficient – more... manner. All this prep work of the paper documents were necessary in order to have them scanned to the updated computer software at MPS. I Learned that I am a very detail oriented employee. I took pride in my work and in knowing that It was ultimately up to the other temp and myself to make sure the students files were accounted for the credits they earned. I really wished that MSP could have had the means available to take us on as full time MSP employees. However it was not in the schools budget. I was honored to have had the time and the experience there. The staff was a delight to have worked with. – less

There are some oppertunities for those looking to do a lane change in their career. The hardest part of this job is the constant changing, because students have to adjust and you play a huge role in making that happen. The most enjoyable part is educating students and watching them become successful.

It was fun serving the children and staff. Also, I love getting to know the children and staff.

As a special education teacher, I started the school year with very little furniture, no curriculum and very few materials. Needless to say, it was very stressful and cost me a lot of my own resources to get started. Administration offered little help, even though I asked for guidance repeatedly.

Overall, I enjoyed working with students, however, some of the schools were in very rough neighborhoods and were hard to teach in.

Minneapolis Public Schools is mired in bureaucrary and for all of the talk of having no monies to spend the administration are all making six figures, meanwhile, you can't find a book or a piece of paper for the public school students.

I worked for them for 5 years and the pay is great and a positive atmophereto work in.
