International Leadership of Texas

The Sped department is underfunded and has not enough support for sped teachers. They will pile you with as many students that come in through out the year without giving you support (no aids in you classroom, no real training regarding how to teach sped students). If you have any problems with students such as behavior, they tell you it is your problem. 
Also, there is no real curriculum to use other than supplemental stuff that is not related to what they should be taught in a gen. ed. 
You are required to have students in various grade levels in your classroom and this includes kids who are in Resource and kids who have AU and need a lot of behavior support. On top of that there are no Behavior specialist to support you. The Behavior Specialist will come around maybe once a month but will really just be there for assessments or compliance.
Compliance is really what this department does.  Teaching is not really done due to the large amount of Sped kids they receive and not enough funding (or space in building) to hire another Sped teacher.
I think they are trying to get things done better but unfortunetly the number of schools they have now are so many that it seems like they can't really do things well for the moment. It will take them a long time to get themselves more organized and hopefully figure out how they should be teaching Sped students.

I would not recommend working at this campus. In my experience, the principal’s leadership created a hostile and intimidating work environment that negatively affected staff morale. Fear of retaliation, favoritism, and inconsistent treatment of employees made it difficult for many staff members to voice concerns openly. Communication lacked transparency, trust in leadership was extremely low, and decisions often appeared arbitrary or unfair. Rather than fostering collaboration and professional growth, the environment frequently felt divisive and stressful. There are also publicly available news reports regarding concerns about the principal’s prior leadership history. Prospective employees may wish to review publicly available reporting and draw their own conclusions. For me, the work environment ultimately outweighed the positive aspects of the job. The students deserve dedicated teachers, but teachers also deserve a workplace where they are respected, supported, and treated fairly.

If you are a new teacher starting out, ILTexas is a reasonably good place to begin your career.  There is support for you, but you will also need to seek it out.  You will make far less money here, and many teachers begin here to get experience, and then move on to better paying jobs.   Campus administration is hit or miss depending on the campus.  No way to help you here as admin changes often, too.  There is also a great deal of nepotism as many, MANY of the employees, especially at higher levels are related.  Actual family members, and it shows.  In addition, there is little loyalty for employees with excellent work ethic if you have not also served in the military (as many of upper mgmt have) you can not expect the same loyalty and job security as those who have.  Disappointed that such an amazing concept for a tri-lingual, servant leadership education does not always result in that happening for the students.  And they continue to open new schools without having the established schools be successful.  

ILTexas is a charter school the gives students the opportunity to learn Spanish, Chinese and English (improve and/or learn it) from the time they are in kindergarten.  They also offer students the ability to earn an associates degree along with their high school degree.  The motto is Others Before Self.  I wanted to be a part of a district that exemplifies all of those things, and they do.  The district is still relatively new 6-ish years since inception, so there are still growing pains.  But I worked with some incredibly dedicated and outstanding educators in all different departments.  There is a lot of support for teachers, but not a lot of funds.  Less student behavior issues than when I worked for a public school system, but no matter where you teach, that is going to be an issue nowadays.  Great place for new teachers because of the support they offer.  All in all a good place to work, and will get better as they iron out the kinks of being a new district.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of the organization is being able to teach at a high level! It seems like the COVID learning loss is being made up because I had AMAZING and very well learned students if they were coming from the k8. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Any job is difficult when you don't have the support that you need. They are great at academic support, but I was pressured into an extracurricular and nothing that I needed given to me easily. I fought more about that than I did about my actual job.

The culture is amazing just be cautious of the "others before self" because they will burn you out asking you to go above and beyond.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There are A days and B days at the high school. My planning period was in the morning on A days, so every Monday and Wednesday, I didn't teach until almost noon. I LOVED that.

I grew in the education field with this job experience. It takes a lot of patience, quick thinking, and reality to mold the mind of a child to be not only the best but human when treating and talking to one another with respect and an understanding that everyone comes from a different home and the is does not define character. Character is how you act when no one is watching. I would hope that my voice is in there thoughts when a child comes to a cross road with a  decision. I enjoy when a child confides in me with help, how to approach, or handle a situations based on what I would do because of my character. My 6th grade team supported me and made me feel heard, needed, and useful. Most importantly ILT made me feel appreciated with all I did for my team and students. 6th grade is a turning point into character. I feel that it's the time to listen and help them with the in between of treating them like adults but also reminding them that they are still a child that has guidance with in the school system.

Lack of support on all fronts. You will be stranded and discarded.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was fortunate anough to be among those who resigned. They will fire teachers and walk them off mid-class because of rumors started by students. No investigation. Students know this and manipulate it to get teachers fired. I saw it more than once on my own hallway.

Show up, live in fear and stress for 10-12 hours, go home and ask yourself why you chose to work here.

The mission of being apart of a team striving to educate young minds.

Toxic working environment from executive cabinet down to the principals, associate/assistant principals and teacherss.

Control chaos, decisions are made by the CEO, no takes ownership nor are willingly to share responsibility.

No shortage of people, with less experience, who are coming into your room to tell you how to teach. This was once a great place to teach. I had all the flexibility to create lessons that matched the culture of my school and my own strengths. Over the course of the last 6 years, Things have changed. Now, everything has to go through the second assistant for the local coordinator.
