TeacherTown Cuts Teacher Pay by $10,000 and Ends Annual Increases

CorpEd at Work

Posted earlier at Schools Matter:

With every bad instrument in the corporate education toolbox being thrown into the creation of a new schooling Frankenstein for "educating" Memphis and Shelby County children, the introduction of test scores to determine teacher pay was inevitable. 

• Gone are annual scheduled salary steps, which have been replaced by annual bonuses based on student test scores.   
• Maximum salaries have been reduced from $73,000 to $63,000.
• Teachers will max out after 18 years, with no salary increases after that.
• Teachers who teach non-tested subjects must rely upon test scores averaged for those in the school who teach tested subjects to determine their pay raises.

Meanwhile, teachers in Shelby County are represented by a teachers' association that is an affiliate of the Teacher Union Reform Network (TURN).

The TURNcoats work hand in glove with CorpEd to make sure that the Broad, Walton, and Gates agendas are pushed ahead of teachers, children, and parents.

MERRY CHRISTMAS SHELBY COUNTY TEACHERS!!
