Pros

HISD's salary is on par with the districts in the surrounding area. They offer lots of professional development and benefits are good.

Cons

It's a large district and if you teach in a STAAR grade level it can become really stressful with weekend tutorials and cramming for the test. EVAAS can be confusing to understand. Discipline is a problem.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
