Does anyone know how the new teacher pay for performance will work? I've been hearing that it is scheduled to begin next school year. Is this true? I'm wondering if I should find another career. Any news/update?
If you teach a subject that uses county generated (but state mandated) SLOs, the system is set up to incentivize you to cheat. Don't do it. With a max pay out of $2500, you are better off spending your time tutoring.
I fully believe that teachers that receive bonuses will:
Work in schools with administrators who inflate evaluations. Have SLOs that are poorly designed and easily manipulated.
The good part is, they will not reduce pay based on TKES.
If I'm under contract now 8/15/14 as a teacher, but I am offered a promotional position out of the classroom with the next few weeks, (with the GA Dept of Education or another school system as an administrator), am I able to break my contract without penalty?

I know I can keep my health insurance because I have more than 10 years, but wondering if it costs more to continue with health insurance than what I am paying now?
You should speak with your Human Resources Department. Yes, it will likely cost more, because most systems pay a portion of the health insurance premiums and you will pay your portion and the employer's portion of the insurance premium when you separate from service.
