  • Employee

I have been a teacher for 4 years. Pay was raised but I still get first year teacher pay.

4.33

Suggestions for improvement

  • Use teacher input to make decisions.

What I like about the company

I’m involved in leadership programs so I’m always in the known about important school and building decisions.

What I dislike about the company

Spelling lists should be allowed, teachers should be more supported, raises should be given regularly to effective teachers, and teachers shouldn’t be blamed for discipline problems when the building has no supports available.

Rewarding but stressful at times.

3.94

Suggestions for improvement

  • Bosses need to give employees more freedom so they can show them how professional they can be.

What I like about the company

The employees are very supportive of each other. It's extremely rewarding to work with children and see their growth and excitement to be at school.

What I dislike about the company

There needs to be more family and maternity leave. Family needs to be more of a priority for the school system. They will only pay for 3 weeks of maternity leave for moms.

Fort Wayne Community Schools is a great place to work! They really try to work with us on our salaries and...

4.56

Suggestions for improvement

  • Money spent on things teachers need, being more aware of what is going on and communicating better between different areas within the company.

What I like about the company

FWCS is the largest public school in Indiana. They really try to listen to our needs and provide us with feedback surveys through out the year to see how they can improve and what they are doing well. I have been with the company for 14 years and still enjoy working for them.

What I dislike about the company

Even though FWCS asks us for feedback, sometimes I wish they would ask more appropriate questions pertaining to our jobs as teachers. Sometimes I feel they don't use their money appropriately and waste on things that we don't need.
