Houston schools need everyone from teaching assistants to classroom teachers to make an impact on students and communities. Some of Houston’s largest school districts are looking for new graduates, bilingual/dual language teachers, experienced teachers, and career changers.
As a Houston teacher, you can give back to your community while shaping the lives of students. Teachers also promote equality; studies have shown that having three consecutive years of highly effective teachers can help close the average achievement gap between economically disadvantaged children and others.

The state has recently boosted salaries, and schools are actively looking to find teachers from diverse groups that reflect the cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity of students in Texas classrooms. (3)
The city needs teachers from all backgrounds and experiences who are committed to shaping the future of the city. Studies show that diversifying the classroom benefits students, regardless of race or ethnicity.
Whatever your background, as a Houston educator, you can help create more inclusive, culturally responsive classrooms. Students with disabilities, students who are new to the country and students who live in low-income areas especially need strong advocates and imaginative educators.
