“We Believe Every Alternative Compensation System Must Meet These Minimum Standards for Adoption” • CTA State Council in April 2007 adopted a list of minimum standards • List used data from other states, such as Minnesota • Included as CTA Handout
Educational Change Workgroup ReportPart 2 Approved by State Council – January 2008
Teacher Compensation • Improve Overall Teacher Pay in Order to Recruit and Maintain a Professional Teaching Force • Single Salary Schedule Continues to be a Foundation of Teacher Pay • Pay System Should Promote Teaching as a Career
Teacher Compensation… • Successful Compensation Systems Should: • Be voluntary, locally bargained and available to all unit members • Be funded by new money, above the current funding, and that new funding to support the new system must be guaranteed and permanent • Provide salary enhancements that are adequate, fairly distributed and designed to support professional practice
Examples of Collaboration • Denver’s ProComp Plan • Minnesota’s “Quality Compensation Plan” (Q-Comp) • San Francisco Plan
Next Steps… • Improve from #48 in our effort to fund California Schools • Fully fund BTSA and PAR programs to provide support for newer teachers and assistance to experienced teachers • Union involvement is necessary
