BETA Unplugged
Blue Engine asked BETAs for an honest perspective on their year of service. Responses were unedited by Blue Engine staff and written by the BETAs themselves.
- What made you decide to do Blue Engine over other national service programs?
- What’s it like living on $1200 a month in New York City? Is that some kind of joke?
- What does a typical day look like?
- How was training? Do you feel like Blue Engine prepared you for the academic year?
- What are some of the pros/cons of working alongside teachers and other members of your team inside classrooms every day?
- What kinds of opportunities are you exploring in the year(s) beyond this current service experience? In what ways has Blue Engine helped clarify and/or confuse your thinking on this?
- Anything else you’d like to add? Any advice for prospective applicants or observers in the education field?
