Teacher Compensation: A Model that Advances District Interests and Maintains Teacher Agency (Room WI Center 103 C)

Learn what it takes to collaboratively develop an alternative teacher compensation model that can be supported by teachers, administrators and the school board. The model approved by the G-E-T school board in 2016 has successfully addressed competitive wages, attracted and retained teachers, and satisfied teachers' desire for control, the administration's desire to promote professional development, and the board's desire for sustainability. This session will highlight the model’s critical features, including: guiding values, problem-solving strategies, sustainability, transitioning and teacher agency.
