I'm personally fine because I've already earned National Board certification, but why not simply grandfather in those who played by the rules? That's how it worked concerning certification--it's not like career high school lit teachers with general certificates had to go back and get, say, 6-12 English credentials.Jim Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928624189124041120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28236246.post-58541217527814846172009-02-02T02:00:00.000-08:002009-02-02T02:00:00.000-08:00Also important to realize is that 50% of the curre...Also important to realize is that 50% of the current teaching corps will have retired by 2021. Teachers entering the system now will know not to spend their time and money on their masters because it won't get them to a higher salary level, and also has been shown in the research to not have very much effect on the quality of thir teaching. People who currently hold a masters or PhD. can continue with their higher level of pay for another 10 years before having to switch to the new system. Younger teachers may notice that the new system starts them out at a higher pay rate, and gives them bumps in pay without having to spend so much money on higher education, but rather fro showing proficiency in teaching. There are clearly some detais which stil need to be ironed out, but I think there is a lot to like here, and if we all work together, I am sure tht we can find a way for it to work for all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28236246.post-68376851506543751602009-02-01T22:52:00.000-08:002009-02-01T22:52:00.000-08:00I have a feeling they will think twice about this....I have a feeling they will think twice about this.
