[quote=Anonymous]Also a DCPS teacher who has worked in a DC charter previously. At charters that I am familiar with, the salary that you negotiate at hire doesn't go up much after that... my charter matched my DCPS salary to start with and 2 years later (with a position as a teacher "leader" and good evaluation scores) I was making less than I would have been at DCPS. I also worked much longer hours, including mandatory after school meetings on a weekly basis. I was discouraged from taking leave. If you do well in DCPS, the salary quickly grows. On the flip side, in DCPS I buy many supplies out of pocket (including copy paper... sad) and at charter we had most supplies you could want or need. I also got better feedback and opportunities to grow/take on additional responsibility at charter... but there was more micromanagement and less flexibility or room for creativity in terms of procedures and routines, classroom management approaches, and lesson plans.
