About Us

Retaining Instructors through Support and Education is exactly the mission of the RISE team. RISE is Pasadena ISD's inclusive instructional support and mentoring program with the goal to retain highly qualified educators. The team, which derived from PISD's own alternative certification program, focuses on instructional achievement for all PISD educators so they can:

Feel more confident in the classroom, knowing the supports PISD offers.
Grow as educational leaders throughout their career.
Grow our students to achieve their maximum potential and become proud PISD graduates and representatives.

We can be found serving various roles and duties throughout PISD, such as delivering New Teacher Orientation onboarding trainings, in classrooms offering one-on-one coaching and support, leading district professional development, growing our PISD leadership pipeline, etc.
