Business Outlook

Pros

Community building with my peers helped me in my first year and transitioning to my second year. Admin team (for the most part) was supportive of me in and outside of the classroom.

Cons

Pay was low for living in an expensive city, standards-based grading was a nightmare to deal with and defeats the purpose of being at school, you can't control who your administrators are and therefore can sometimes fall victim to political (i.e., unexpected course assignments according to who is in the admin's good graces) decisions. Little to no support from the state of Texas, bordering on animosity towards being a teacher in Austin

Pros

Keeps you busy, kids are sweet, can be lots of fun and very mind opening

Cons

The necessity to put yourself last, lack of support, emotional attachment over the course of 9 months or longer to kids that aren't even yours that you may or may not ever see again, doing so much above your pay grade
