[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland is trying to put a career ladder in place for excellent teachers, to keep them in the classroom but yet advance their careers in a way that is more sustainable. It's called the "Blueprint for Education" and it has many components, but one of them is this career ladder. Ideally, teachers can move up the ranks, still teaching classes but maybe only 20-40% of the time, while providing mentoring to other teachers or working on district initiatives. It's a way to keep excellent teachers who don't wish to move into administration, and the salary increases are supposed to be commensurate with becoming a principal. I'm a little skeptical of what it is going to look like, but it might be something for you to consider. However, no school in Maryland would be likely to match your current salary, with all the DC IMPACT bonuses, and you would lose your retirement credits. [/quote]

Not to mention this is going to take time to implement and it sounds as you are looking for something sooner rather than later. The career ladder is 5-10% of teachers based on the Blueprint so sounds good..if you can get into it. [/quote]
