Teaching at Achievement First : We believe that every child has the ability to succeed and attend college. Our students work extremely hard and are held to very high expectations regarding both their academic achievement and character development. Students are expected to operate in accordance with our REACH Values (Respect, Enthusiasm, Achievement, Citizenship, and Hard Work) both in and outside of school.

Each teacher attends two weeks of New Staff Training and two bi-annual professional development days where the entire network convenes with other leaders in the educational field. Each teacher is paired with a one-on-one coach and the school week is structured so that teachers devote half of every Friday to professional development with their grade-level and/or subject teams. Teachers also have the opportunity to pursue multiple leadership options while still in the classroom. The Achievement First community is a Team & Family and teachers work together to ensure the academic success and character development of not only the students in their classroom, but all students in their school. We invest in each of our teachers with the understanding that they alone have the power to achieve our mission of providing all students with the academic and character skills necessary to succeed in a competitive world.
