Teacher Leadership and Compensation Task Force
This task force will develop recommendations for a new teacher leadership and compensation system that addresses the following:
- Duties and responsibilities of apprentice, career, mentor, and master teachers
- The use of retired teachers as mentors
- Strategic use of finite resources
- A mechanism to substantially increase the average salary of teachers who take on leadership roles
- Implementation of the recommendations in Iowa’s public schools
The task force also will propose a peer coaching pilot project. The group’s proposals must be submitted to the State Board of Education, the Governor, and the Legislature by October 15.
A Wiki has been created for the task force to share resources, documents and thinking related to the topic of teacher leadership and compensation. The Wiki can be viewed here: http://iatchrldr.wikispaces.com/
