Pros

Austin ISD is a great place to work! They have great benefits and great hourly pay! They have great management at Austin ISD! It is a great company to work for!

Cons

I honestly have no negative things to say about Austin ISD! I hear some TA's have little say in their school assignments and are not given their choices. But I have nothing negative to say!

Pros

For those planning on teaching as your long term career, the district and the state offer great benefits and retirement. With any job, there are people who are really supportive and take the time to help you.

Cons

Working at an Improvement Required campus meant that TEA made unexpected visits into my classroom, but what was concerning was that they'd sit in my classroom for 10-15 minutes and would not leave any feedback. Neither from the TEA agent or the administrator. Administrators would also come up with initiatives and wanted us to implement them immediately. A lot of these initiatives were unrealistic and were just there to cover the administrators behind to TEA. There were so many progress monitoring tasks we had to turn in by Monday. but we would not get the data until Friday so we were either supposed to stay late on Fridays or work over the weekend. Again, another task to cover administrators' behind.

Pros

The students at my school are amazing, talented and very hard-working. There is also alot of parent support and support from the community.

Cons

Administration is quick to blame teachers instead of holding students accountable for their actions. My Principal is also a major micro-manager.
