By This week on HISD NOW, we’re discussing what makes teaching in HISD such an exciting opportunity, from competitive salaries to why great teachers want to be part of this transformative work. HISD boasts one of the highest salary ranges in the nation—starting at over 68k a year, with first-year teachers earning more than 82k. After just five years, that salary is locked into your retirement, regardless of where you retire from.
Tune in to hear Superintendent Mike Miles share his thoughts on the district’s transformation: “The key is how teachers are supported. One of the things that was changing was culture. Culture is one of the hardest things we are doing, and by culture, I mean culture accountability. We’re accountable for outcomes, and if we can get those outcomes.”
He also emphasizes how HISD is at the forefront of educational reform: “The American public education system needs a dose of reform and transformation. We’re the biggest transformation effort in the country.” HISD is embracing these changes to create an environment that attracts top-tier educators, ensuring that they receive not only competitive salaries but also the support and resources they need to excel.
In addition to salary and support, HISD is focusing on creating a thriving, supportive environment for teachers, fostering professional development and growth opportunities. It’s clear that the district is committed to not only paying teachers well but also ensuring they have the resources and support needed to succeed.
