professional development fee

by Suzy

Jul 26, 2008

I have been asked to run a 1/2 day professional development workshop at a school other than my own during a vacation. The school will be paying me and wants to know what my fee is.

I have never done this outside of the school I work in, so I have no idea what a reasonable rate would be. Does anyone have an idea what the going rate is for running such a workshop?

Jenn What RESC are you in? Contact them or check their web site and see what they typically charge for a full-day workshop, divide that in half, and see how you feel about it. You can raise or lower it depending on the amount of personal time you use to prepare for it, as well as for the cost of any materials you prepare.

When asked, veteran presenters or facilitators will usually answer “whatever their budget allows” or “find out the going rate, and charge that.” I tend to say it depends on your experience, content, and skills.

I am an ESL teacher, and I will be presenting to a small group of teachers on giving standardized assessments to ELL students. This school has never had ELLs before but will have a few exchange students coming in.

I have experience administering and scoring one of the two assessments being used; the other is new to me and will require some time for me to become more familiar with it. In addition to presenting information specific to the assessments, I will also present on general considerations with respect to assessing ELLs.

pdleader Hi Suzy, My district automatically pays the administrator rate of $50.00/hr. I am a teacher but often lead training sessions for my subject area and for technology. Hope this helps. Oh, I work in upper Fairfield County in a lower paying district.
