Business Outlook
Pros
One of the reasons why I have taught in the district for so long were the incentives. Before the TEA takeover, the district offered many incentives to stay, including bonuses, stipends, and a plan to increase salaries over a certain amount of years. Another reason I have stayed as long as I have are my highly supportive team, not just at my school but at my district.
Cons
The incentives are mostly gone and my team is fragmented. Many people are leaving this year. Since the TEA takeover the expectations are way higher and your professional experience is put up to debate daily by people who have no classroom experience. Many students are checked out since COVID and are worked to exhaustion with the new expectations.
