Though Dallas ISD is a large district, the individual learning experiences make each campus unique. Our schools include single-gendered education, dual-language programs, Montessori and personalized learning, Collegiate Academies, IB programs and more. We believe that a prospective teacher will find a perfect fit campus in our district.

Your success is our success, so we want to help you grow on your journey as a teacher. An abundance of professional development opportunities is in place to support Dallas ISD teachers and school leaders, including one-on-one coaching, learning in teams, and large group sessions. Research has shown that on-the-job professional development is the most effective in helping teachers grow as educators. To that end, the district continues to expand and improve campus-based coaching, teacher teams and teacher team leaders. Every new-to-Dallas ISD teacher is paired with an on-campus mentor teacher for your first two years, who is dedicated to your pedagogical growth. Additionally, the online resource Curriculum Central provides a wealth of learning opportunities and instructional support resources, making it convenient to register for and complete educational workshops.

First-year teachers can expect to earn $61,000  with no experience! For those teachers truly invested in becoming transformative, an annual salary of $100,000 is obtainable. In Dallas, you can make a difference in students’ lives while also having the opportunity to have a higher earning potential.
