Pros

Location. Some good shopping in town and close to everything else in Texas. It's a 3 hour drive to Dallas, 2.5 hour drive to Houston.

Cons

Low wages compared to cities of same size. My wages are the same as someone living in a city with only 40,000 people. Austin has close to a million people. The wages should be much higher.

Pros

As a large district, Austin ISD has access to vast resources. I rarely found a time when supples were not available to me.

Cons

Austin ISD does not seem to care very much about retaining its teachers. The principals have all gotten to be principals based on politics instead of qualifications. I have worked in several different school districts in two different states, and Austin Independent School District is the only one I could not recommend. The salary is not as high as surrounding districts, the insurance is just on par. Austin ISD gives less sick days than surrounding districts.

Pros

Austin ISD is a progressive school district which offers plenty of quality professional development opportunities. Austin ISD offers a stipend for National Board certified teachers. Other area districts do not. The district is extremely well organized and runs efficiently, for the most part. The standards and expectations are high. I am fortunate to teach at a high performing school. I appreciate the creative freedom I am given to do my job. The high expectations on my campus and in my district cause me to be a better teacher. I have observed that many effective leaders are hard at work in administrative positions and really listen to teachers to use their feedback to constantly help make AISD better.

Cons

The district is so large that it is easy to feel like just a number.
