Pros

Experience Teaching, Small groups, lesson plan and activities already prepared

Cons

The material that you teach prior to the biweekly test has a much lower level difficulty than the test. You are teaching rather than reviewing/ refreshing the students on things they should have been taught in class The disciplinary action for non compliant or rude students is nearly none existent The Apollo program is one of the few functioning things at the school and that makes it hard to get the kids to comply and learn because they have been conditioned not to due to the lack of expectation and learning they should be receiving

Large school district

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.
