Pros
HISD provides financial incentives for improved and high scholar achievement--my team teacher earned $10,000 as a bonus for her EVAAS score (which is the measure of how much your scholars grew).
Cons
HISD does not do enough to ensure that all scholars are receiving an excellent education, and all of the schools do not ensure that their teachers are being supported and developed enough. There is a lot of room for growth in reference to teacher development. They have Teacher Development Specialists (TDS), which are a farce, and they do not really support and develop teachers in the way that they were designed to do.
