Find out what schools give prop 123 $ to teachers

by Mark

Jun 6, 2016

Teachers, educate yourself and google what schools are giving much needed raises to teachers from Prop 123. It's about time we teach for the lettuce instead of a calling. Not sure about you, I have bills to pay and want to drive more than a Honda for all my hard work. It's about time!

Want out of my teaching contract. How to tell if I'm subject to $ liquidated damages or not. Could not find any such language in the contract. I understand that some districts do impose a penalty, and some don't. If it's not in the contract I signed, then I assume there's no monetary penalty, but per AZ Dept of Education perhaps a certificate suspe...See More

Al I quit a job in October as a teacher and will not disclose the reason on this venue.

I was offered three jobs and had about a dozen calls to come in for an interview.

Nothing happened to me with breaking a contract and nobody asked me why I left my last job.

I worked at a charter school in a very nice area and fell in ...See More

My teaching certificate expires in 3 months and I find myself short about 50 hours to renew as I took off some time. How can I get those hours and can they can me? I was told they only extend the certificate for provisional teachers.

Jul 27, 2016

I signed my teaching contract for this coming school year on may 25th. I am currently looking over my contract and I realized that I did not meet all the conditions of my new contract which states I need to get my math endorsement as approved by the ADE. Both parties have signed that contract. Is the contract now void since I obviously can't be a m...See More

Bring It to their attention which is the right thing to do. They may put you on an emergency certificate, or make some kind of amends at this point.

Why to pass on Charters

by Mike

May 23, 2016

Plan on interviewing at one:

Keep in mind the following:

They do not contribute to the state retirement system. They may not offer adequate pay raises. They usually start at a much lower pay rate than public schools. They are usually data driven. They require a lot of extra time aside from normal school hours; meetings, school fun...See More

not all charters are bad I work for ASU Prep Acad and they contribute to the pension. They also cover benefits and pay is on par with Mesa unified and Gilbert public schools. Yes, the year is longer than a public school but class sizes are smaller. At least it's not as bad as some of the other charter schools.

I am off for the summer unpaid and my principal called and requested I come back to school to interview several perspective candidates for a 4th grade position. I have kids and had to pay a babysitter several times, not to mention the cost for gas that is approaching $2.50 a gallon. Is this normal for this to happen and unpaid? What would of happen...See More
