Pros

The insurance benefits were good. The support I got from other teachers was great, a blessing sent from God.

Cons

Contract did not state where I would teach, what I would teach, or for how much, just how I could mess up and be dismissed. That was my heads up that the year would be difficult. For all the upfront "training", nothing was helpful. I was expected to do everything perfectly the first time on one hand, but give the administration the benefit of the doubt for all their mistakes and less than timely work.

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.
