Give Yourself a Raise

IPS and IEA have come to agreement that teachers will be paid the same for a Master's Degree as for Master's Degree Equivalency. This means that teachers who have earned a Bachelor's Degree plus 36 hours will qualify for the Master's Equivalency. The 36 hours must have been earned after the Bachelor's Degree was posted and must be evidenced by official transcripts. In addition, courses taken must be graduate level courses. Once confirmed, the teacher will be placed on the Master's Degree pay table.

Understand that additional hours taken beyond the Bachelor's Degree, that do not result in a Master's Degree being awarded, will not be considered for placement on any table beyond the Master's Degree. In other words, in order to be placed at Master's +15 hours, or Master's+ 30 hours and above table, the teacher must submit official transcripts, which post a Master's Degree award, with the equivalent hours having been earned after the Master's Degree was posted.

  1. You need a Phd. to understand what the hell that means.

  2. Oh come on, it means if you have taken six hours six times to renew your license you may not have a masters degree but if you have 36 hours and will be paid the masters rate.

  3. Once you have defended your thesis, then you should earn the pay raise.

  4. Oh come on, how many administrators and teachers have degrees from those box top schools? Mail in the box tops from 1000 boxes of cereal, get an advanced degree.

    One principal has his degree from Oakland City University. I asked a science teacher about this school and the responds was a wink and the statement they had carpet on the floors of science labs. Another has a Doctorate from "Florida", I'd really like to know the whole name of this school, as there is no school with the single name "Florida"? Lots of people have advanced degrees from schools with all of the courses taught "on line". \

    I've written and defended my thesis. Lots of these people couldn't spell thesis.

  9. I have one from the University of Belize that took two whole weeks of study. Dr. Greenwood told me that no one would dare ask one questions about the university and then winked at me as I am a "golden boy" for Dr. White.

  10. Off Topic Question: Has Dr. Bridgwaters had her duties limited or curtailed this year? I don't see her or hear anything about her. What's up?

  12. If we are lucky, she will remain invisible this entire year. She ruins everything she touches.

  13. New question...
    Did Dr. White show up in anyone's buildings on the first day of school?
    I figured that SURELY he would make a good PR move and make himself visible...
    Anyone see him?
