[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of it is probably the lack of growth/advancement opportunities. It's a good job straight out of school compared to what is available, but when you are five years in and see your friends starting to get promotions and raises it starts to feel like you are missing out. [b]I think it would be good if schools had positions like "senior teacher" where you get paid more and get more admin resources, to give younger teachers something to work towards[/quote][/b]

I am a team leader at my school but there is no extra pay for it and we aren't given a lighter class load either.  We rotate the job every year because it is exhausting.  School districts just don't have the money for this.  [/quote]

Yeah more work with no additional pay was not what I meant. I meant having a second band of teachers who get promoted based on merit/performance to a higher paying job. Maybe have lower starting salaries to find those higher salaries. I just think psychologically it is tough to get motivated if you have basically topped out in your job the day you start. [/quote]
