Pros

I loved the opportunity to a part of positive change in this community. There are ample opportunities for professional development and personal growth. I had tremendous amount of support with curriculum resources. If the students needed it, it was provided. Technology resources were a priority and provided; along with the necessary support to use them.

Cons

Cons are high stakes testing and the pressure that trickles down from the top. This pressure made it hard to keep in mind that I am a child advocate and the reasons I became a teacher.

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.
