Pros

There are no pros for working in this district

Cons

This district is very poorly ran and FILLED with unprofessional, incompetent, and toxic clowns in leadership positions from the district to the campus level. Teachers are chastised like children, treated like scum by administrator's, and psychologically abused. With the New Education System, teachers are essentially robots delivering scripted lessons with little to no autonomy in the materials or instructional strategies used and the schools are literally ran like the prison system. The work environment is mundane and extremely repetitive. The current $80,000 salary and other benefits being advertised may sound enticing but I promise you it’s not worth it. If you value your mental health and professional growth do not apply for any teaching job in this district.

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.
