San Diego Unified School District Employer Reviews

Learning while teaching, teaching while learning. Being adaptable and realizing a calling and that some don't get the credit for helping the future of children. Witnessing the day to day battle for families get an education for there children, and the lengths at which teachers are the most under-rated of civil servants.

I enjoy working as a teacher, with my co-workers and my job is very enjoyable. Currently my hours are 3 to four hours a day,
I'm forced to search for a full time job.

A typical day at work for me as a Network Media and Support Technician includes playing daily bulletins via the schools public announcement system and handling various computer-related issues. I believe the hardest part of my job is to keep the problems at a manageable level since I'm the only network technician at the two schools I'm assigned to.

I like this job but there's always budget cut that come suddenly and you can loose your position.

A typical day would be consulting with district staff and students in an educational setting to assess the need for behavior support services; provide methodologies and strategies when necessary regarding behavior modification/management. My manager is awesome because you can kid with her but also get down to business when necessary. She is also very – more... honest and straight forward. My co-workers are awesome as well. The hardest part about the job is dealing with personnel that are resistant to change and not working for the benefit of the students. The most enjoyable part of the job is the flexibility, educational/collaborative/networking opportunities, and working with students. – less

A typical day at work would be to do bus inspections, drive daily routes, and logging of daily activities. I have learned great work ethics here, and respect for company policies, and for co-workers as well. This job also taught me the importance of being on time and running routes in a timely, yet safe manner, with safety coming first. I was a part – more... of a great team. The hardest part of the job was having to be in traffic, a broken down bus, or other diverse situations on the road with children on the bus, especially angry parents approaching me when their child's bus was not on time, but I always got through it calmly, working well under pressure. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to get through whatever obstacles were put before me, and ending the day with every one of the students being safe and sound. To me that was very rewarding. – less

The days Monday through Friday were filled with unexpected situations, I say this because most of the time the students that filled the class room were never the same ones. One of the most important things I learned, while working for the school district was too have a lot of patience with the students. I worked with many students for more than 10 years – more... and came away with a new understanding about education in America.

The Principals were all good managers in there own right.. I never saw anything that I thought would be against the policies of the schools..

My co-workers all were okay in the way they went about there assigned postions.. I never associated with any of them outside work. There was one person that I met after school hours and this was to go and watch horse racing.. We were both into loving the sport of horses..

There was never a part of the postion as an educator thart I would classify as harder than another part. The same for what was considered the most enjoyable.. All the years that I was employed by the district were all enjoyable ones, right up to the time I decided to go on and do something else.. – less

Being a visiting teacher for the San Diego Unified School District can be both rewarding and challenging at the same time. A typical day of work can consist of being surrounded by loving children, executing engaging lesson plans, teaching children memorable lessons and receiving wonderful support from the SDUSD staff. SDUSD pays substitute teachers – more... pretty well and we have the chance to work on various campuses with a broad demographic. On that note, some areas can be a little rough but those are the places that you’re needed the most. When working for the SDUSD, you are not only teaching the children but learning from them as well. – less

Good Job, only left because my family moved. would still be working there if i lived there.

Working at a school site on a typical day is non-stop, you are dealing with students and parents as well as executing your job responsiblities. As a Health Technician at Knox Middle School I assist the School Nurse with ill students and taking care of minor injuries such as cuts and scrapes as well as administering meds to those students who have ADHD. – more... I also translate for spanish speaking parents. The most enjoyable part of the job is making a diffrence in a students life. – less

Developed, planned, organized and instructed students in an adaptive learning environment to foster successful learning and development.

As a Visiting Teacher, you choose the days you want to work once you establish yourself. As a contracted teacher you receive great benefits.

TO PROVIDE PARENTS AND STUDENTS INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOL EVENTS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

Kids are great! The pay is OK for the number of work hours and the benefits are great! However there's no incentive to be good at your job and truly the moral is so low that the incentive may be to be bad at your function.

I loved working for the school district because of the great pay and vacation time we were offered. The atmosphere was great because the majority was children and i love working with them. The hardest part of my job was having to work another at the same time. That was because i was stuck with a three in a half hour position for 5 years. The pay was – more... good just not the hours. – less

The entire school system in SDUSD is very messed up. The administration needs to be willing to stand behind its teachers rather than play politics. Unfortunately its not all the administrations fault, and there are some good administrators. But overall the system is very flawed.

Teachers have one of the toughest jobs in the world.

With all the recent budget cuts, it can be tough on the mentality for the teaching staff, but it's a great place to work.

It was awesome to be around children and help them learn. I corrected the homework for the teacher, and helped out with teaching activities throughout the day, and handed out snacks to children.
