Pros

Austin is a great, vibrant city of young professionals and creative types. With smart folks everywhere, there is a sense that things could turn around in the schools.

Cons

However, the size of the district prevents nimble decision making that allows for appropriate actions to take place.

Pros

Can increase pay significantly if willing to work regularly, some opportunities to expand if they are available, some long term assignments are possible and if you enjoy teaching they keep you doing ti

Cons

unpredictable hours, you have to wake up at 5 am to be ready for calls if you aren't already scheduled. tend to work in the same places with jobs that are with special needs and can be very demanding and frustrating, no help from any staff from a school,

I love teaching my students and working with my colleagues, but I find the district policies and support inadequate.

Business Outlook

Pros

I have great colleagues and students.

Cons

Budget cuts have created a lack of job security. The schools in which I have worked do not have the technology they should. Teachers are often treated more as hourly employees than respected professionals.
