Got an offer from Newton School for SDE + SME (Instructor) — should I join?

Got an offer from Newton School for SDE + SME (Instructor) — should I join? Hey folks, I just received an offer from Newton School for the role listed as SDE + SME (Instructor). I’m trying to figure out if this is a good move for my career.

A few key things I’m thinking about:

The role is more of an instructor/subject matter expert type position, not a typical Software Engineer role. I do want to move back into a core SWE role within ~1 year — will this experience help or hurt my chances? I’m wondering what kind of work environment, growth, and skill development I can expect there.

Questions for you all:

Has anyone worked as an instructor/SME at Newton School? What was your experience like?

Will this role give me solid software engineering experience, or is it more teaching-focused?

If I want to switch to a SWE role after 1 year, will this position be seen as valuable or will it make switching harder?

Would you recommend joining, or should I wait for a more traditional dev role?

Any honest experiences, opinions, or advice would be super helpful. Thanks!
