Before choosing a good school to teach at, you should see if that school is any good for you or not. There are certain ways of finding out if the school you’re joining is good without actually joining it.

Here are some of the best qualities of LA’s top elementary schools you can consider when looking for a school to join as a teacher.

How The Office Staff Treats You

Office staff is the first bunch of people you contact right after joining the school. Their actions represent the attitude of the whole school. You should see if they value customer service, and talk to everyone respectfully and passionately. However, rude office staff should be treated as a red flag, as this suggests that the school isn’t good for students and teachers.

So, join school where the office staff is approachable and polite. You should be able to reach out to them if you have any queries.

Principal’s Attitude

You’ll probably get the chance to talk to the principal before taking a job at any school. Principal’s attitude is very important both for the teachers and for the kids in the school. A good principal always encourages students, and is student-centered in his decisions. He should also help the teachers grow professionally.

Principals who don’t come to school very often, or who aren’t open to innovation are usually hard to work for. This can also make your job difficult.

Choose a School With Teachers of Every Age

Another thing you should look for in a school is that they should have a mix of both new and veteran teachers. This will provide you, as a young teacher, to learn a lot from the veteran teachers. So, choose a school with teachers of every age and experience.
