Working at Birmingham Public Schools

The pros of working for Birmingham Public Schools were the helpful public school staff and the amazing non-public schools in which I worked. I have never worked with better leadership, such wonderful staff members, polite and hard working children, and involved parents.

This was a substitute position so the con was having to leave.

Everything

I was supervised by the kindest woman who helped me through the many differences between public and non-public schools in spite of my 37 years experience working as a speech pathologist in schools.

There was nothing to improve.

The interview was not difficult because the supervisor was so kind and welcoming. She did not rush my answers and her questions were specific. In terms of preparation, if, after 37 years of practice, I do not know answers to questions, that is not good.

In the high range hourly

Great

Smiling, friendly people, who love their jobs and are not just interested in a paycheck. Involved parents and hard working students.

Co workers and fine arts students were the reasons I came committed myself daily. It never failed for those individuals to put a smile on my face and determination in my heart.

Administration did not have the best intrest of the students. It was very difficult to teach state and National Music standards due to scheduling band students around academies and athletics.

The abundance of children willing to learn. Enjoyed teaching Private and group lessons. I also enjoyed preparing students for State Assessment yearly.
