[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher pay goes up a step every year and then there is usually an overall COLA as well (just like the feds) unless there is a major budget problem (thats been the case a loto recently unforutnatly)

The problem is as someone posted there aren't enough grades in teaching.  Imagine if you had to stay on the GS-9 schedule for your entire career.

The only seperation is by education level completed and thats only usually +15, masters, and PHD

Teachers don't really attract people for money though and I'm not sure we should try to attract people interested in money either.  The people that do care about money often go for administration positions[/quote]

This is not the case in every school system. Baltimore City did away with the yearly step increases a few yrs back. Now you will automatically go up a step every 2 yrs if you are deemed effective in your end of year evaluation. If you are effective but want a raise the next year, you have to get AUs through coursework or through other avenues (teaching AU courses, etc). [/quote]
