1. You Care About Kids. ALL Kids.
If you don’t love kids, like really love kids, well, you probably shouldn’t be doing this work. At Achievement First, teachers work hard and fight hard for their kids because they know that all kids are capable of greatness.
2. You’re Ready To Help Change The World (For Reals).
Sure, having a foosball table at the office would be cool. But so is watching your students shatter stereotypes some might attach to their race, age, gender or zip code. So is watching them become artists, senators, architects, scientists, musicians, or anything they can dream of. So is doing something that will actually change the world.
3. You Want To Work For A Kick-Ass Team.
Achievement First teachers work really hard. But at Achievement First, they don’t do it alone. Every teacher has a coach in their corner and AF schools have the lowest coach-to-teacher ratio of any place we know.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
"Quote copy Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exe"
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
