Pros

I have been with our district for around a decade across several campuses, in multiple roles. We have all of the resources you need to run a classroom and get support! Professional learning involves choice most of the time and each campus works with the district to support new educators.

Cons

Pay is about the same as anywhere else in education in Texas

Thank you for sharing your insights from your extensive experiences in LISD! Your long-term perspective is invaluable. We appreciate you highlighting the continuous support, focus on improvement, and the abundance of resources available to our teachers. We strive to create an environment where educators have everything they need to be successful, including exceptional support from instructional coaches like you. Your point about professional learning choice is spot on. We offer a variety of professional development opportunities, and we encourage campuses to tailor these options to the specific needs of their teachers. Additionally, we strive to ensure we support new educators through dedicated programs and mentorship opportunities. Your dedication to the students and teachers of LISD and your work to grow and support the teachers of your campus are greatly appreciated!

Pros

I have worked in dysfunctional schools, but Leander does it right. I feel so lucky to work in this district and in this job. Parents are mostly supportive and helpful.

Cons

Leander doesn’t pay as much as higher-needs districts and schools. Kids and parents may sometimes have unrealistic expectations.

Pros

Relatively small, people from the district know you by name, there is a good amount of freedom, no district assessments (although they might be bringing those back). People at the district are good at what they do and they do care a lot about the teachers and listen to feedback we provide.

Cons

It is in education so you get all the cons of education.
