To compete with other professions for the most able |
|
people, teaching needs a career ladder system for |
|
elementary and secondary teachers comparable to the peer |
|
review model offered in higher education. Such a system |
|
should consist of three levels. Following the initial, |
|
probationary position on the career ladder, that of |
|
beginning instructor, the majority of teachers would be |
|
appointed to the rank of professional teacher. The final |
|
step of the career ladder, that of master teacher, should |
|
command a significantly higher salary than that of the |
|
professional teacher and be accessible to a significant |
|
number of teachers. Master teacher positions should be |
|
announced like administrative positions; appointments |
|
should be made proportionately at the K-3, 4-6, junior |
|
high or middle school, and high school levels by a career |
|
ladder review panel composed of respected teachers, |
|
administrators, and others appointed by the |
|
superintendent. State legislators should appropriate |
|
funds specifically to the career ladder/master teacher |
|
program to help ensure its success. Career ladder review |
|
panels should be established as quickly as possible to |
|
respond to laws currently being enacted. These panels |
|
should involve teachers extensively both in the |
|
establishment of criteria for selecting master teachers |
|
and in the process of selection itself. (JBM) |
