[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait - how do you get to making over $100,000 in theee years? If you get highly effective theee years in a row - you move up 5 steps and are eligible?? Is that for all teachers or just those in Title 1 schools? Impact seems like it sucks and I cannot handle that stress, but am a little jealous of moving up the steps like that. What percent of teachers in the system achieve that?[/quote]

It’s called LIFT. I think after 2 or 3 highly effective ratings at a low income school you get 2 step skips. Then after two more you get 5 step skips. I think one of those includes a move to the Master’s level even if you don’t have a master’s. I could be off on the number of HE ratings required for each move. [/quote]

Depends on your level too, they likely started off on the second type of teacher, forget what it’s called. You get HE one year and 2 pay skips. Then you on advanced you get HE two years consecutively in a row and get 5 pay skips.

So in 3 years you are able to get 7 pay skips and move to the Masters band if you’re not already there.

Not sure how many teachers are able to do that, but I know it’s not many.

I’ve been teaching for about 8 years now but the thing that blows me is all these teachers who’ve taught for 20+ years making 116k. You can look it up, anytime someone is super vocal about impact I check their salary, always making 100k+
They already got theirs and it feels like they are the most vocal. What about the new teachers starting out at 55k? Why should their choice be taken away just because they are ready for tenure?

Notice also how no ideas are ever offered up except this kumbaya BS, of let’s foster and grow teachers. They have no ideas either, and neither does the union. I just hope I am incorrect and we are thinking of ways to make things actively better. We shouldn’t have to work for DCPS for 20 years just to make 100k.[/quote]
