Pros

Got to work directly with some great students to make a positive impact.

Cons

HISD is too big to be run effectively. Administration at the campus where I worked was unrealistic about the existing problems, and instead of being supportive of teachers, they tended to bully people to do what they wanted. Unfortunately, the students constantly lose go through several teachers a year, as a result of the treatment of staff.

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.
