Houston Independent School District Employer Reviews

Working close with children and other teachers. The benefit of seeing what the children get out of learning.

It is a very social atmosphere with a productive staff. Everyone is so friendly and looks out for one another within the workplace.

Would love to work with my Professional Development team again, but the department was thrown terminated, due to budget cuts.

TYPICAL DAY AT WORK CONSISTS OF MASS COMMUNICATION, ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, AND A GOOD RAPORT WITH OTHER AND COHORTS. VERY DEMANDING, AND TIME MANAGEMENT IS A MUST. MOST REWARDING WHEN YOU HEAR OF GRADUATION RATES FOR THE YEAR.

It was a fun place to work on a production crew and as a writer-producer for the magnet schools and HSPV, the high School for visual and performing arts. Co-workers were qualified and knowledgeable on the sets.

As long as you do your job in a timely manner you do not have any problems.

It is good if you want to have long summer vacations.
If you enjoying kids and listen to their funny stories that is the jib to be.
In general co-wokers are great support.
The hardest part 25-30 minutes lunch and not time to go to the restroom at any time.

Road SafetyPerforms work in the operation of a vehicle to assure safe transportation of clients to and from various destinations and to assist clients on entry and exit from vehicles as necessary.

During my tenure as a teacher,and admininstrator HISD was a very rewarding organization for employment.

Just another government job. large budget overspending. very little compliance

This job helped me to become a better teacher when it comes to classroom management. I enjoyed working with the different grades and also connecting with the other teachers.

The Outdoor Education Center at Houston Independent School District is a great place to learn to teach. It is a residential education program where 5th graders from around Houston come to learn more about science. As a staff member there, you are given all the support and tools you need to be a great environmental educator. There is a great deal of – more...  professional development and you are able to bring your own interests and creativity to the job. The OEC is considered a magnet school within HISD and it is truly a school community. – less

I really loved being with the young children, educating them and the teachers. Helping the teachers with any subject matter that was health related. It was easy to move up in salary b/c it was time based. I miss it.

HISD was a great place to be employed. The benefits, the work ethic, and co-workers were remarkable. HISD is responsible for molding me into a caring, sincere, proficient, multi-task employee I am today.
