Disappointing

Pros

Mundo Verde on paper looks a fantastic place to work. Lots of applicants consider this growing Charter school with a long wait list for students. It uses Responsive Classroom, it is doing Expeditionary Learning, it composts and recycles, is environmentally sustainable, it is a Spanish immersion school. It is in a new building with large windows, lots of light and nice architecture. It seems to have it all.

Cons

There is a high turnover of teachers. They have a growing discipline issue where students are openly defiant and refused to cooperate with teachers. The administration is increasingly dismissive of the issues and has not seemed to take it the issues seriously. The administration is very condescending towards teachers which makes it a very discouraging place to work.

Mundo Verde's average teacher retention rate is 80.75%. We are fortunate to retain teachers with the skills and expertise required to teach in our unique model that utilizes Responsive Classroom, Restorative Justice, project-based learning and bilingual education.

Pros

Culture is good but used to be better. Dedicated staff. Growth opportunities. Strong community among the parents and staff. Students are very diverse.

Cons

They seem to have grown too fast and leadership is not implementing structures to define and clarify responsibilities, growth plan, longterm strategy. The qualities that made for such a strong culture in the first year have not been continued in subsequent years.

Pros

The mission and vision, as written, is wonderful.

Cons

Exploitation of the very population that is targeted to assist. Misuse of funding, unqualified employees, and mistreatment of teachers, staff, students, and families. The executive leadership has no care or concern for the betterment of the school or community. Too many excuses for overpromising and underdelivering.
