first year out was 19000. I climbed the ladder like all others. Have been told
fewer opportunities for me, as I am experienced, as most Prins look at budget
before experience. Hey! First year out is equal to 1st year Docs. Not bad. Im
not counting chickens until eggs in basket, but, 1000, 10000 as from
11<SUP>th</SUP> then 4.2. 2.7 and 2.7, lets see first. I believe from past
experience, 22 years aeu member, it’s a lot better than expected. I expected
to really get shafted as usual. What do you think? If not happy many more
opportunities out there in Private enterprise! Regards Steve from <st1:place

Guys! we are getting a pay RISE, not pay cut. I can't believe
you aren't the teeniest tiniest bit happy! Yes, I am one of those
"Expert" teachers who have "stuck around doing the bare minimum for
long enough to reach the top of the classroom teacher scale", but hey,
I do an extra job (computer across the curriculum) and I work long
hours, (last night I left school at 93.0 pm - OK, it was Open night),
am available to students AND other teachers all lunchtimes, recesses, before
and after school, just like you. Trouble is, that our school has only
about 6 leading teachers in a staff of over 80, as they are seen as "too
expensive". So, I think, before you criticise Expert teachers, you
should acknowledge that experienced teachers are the backbone (the "grunt")
of most schools, without the reward of being a leading teacher.
I think most of us are quite happy with the pay rise, although as others
have said, the devil will be in detail.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

is a disgrace. I'm not too sure where Leading Teachers fit if teachers
"at the top" have received the largest pay rise. Leading Teachers, who
have maximum responsibility and (usually) full classroom teaching
loads, have <STRONG><B><FONT face=Arial><SPAN

in fact "at the top", but are receiving only a fraction of the pay rise
awarded to "Expert" teachers, some of whom have simply stuck around doing
the bare minimum for long enough to reach the top of the classroom
teacher scale. Leading Teachers do not cease to be highly skilled
classroom teachers just because they accept additional responsibility, work
longer hours, be available to students AND other teachers all lunchtimes,
recesses, before and after school . . . To quote one of my esteemed
colleagues: "We have been royally

Victorian teachers to be nation's best-paid<BR>><BR>> Farrah Tomazin

href="http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2008/05/05/1209839508834.html">http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2008/05/05/1209839508834.html</A>><BR>><BR>>
The education union has hailed a deal that will make Victorian
teachers<BR>> the highest-paid in the country as the best deal for its
members in more<BR>> than 25 years.<BR>><BR>> The agreement between
the State Government and the Australian Education<BR>> Union (AEU)
resolves a 14-month industrial row, which included three<BR>> statewide
teachers' strikes and weeks of rolling half-day stoppages.<BR>><BR>>
The unions had threatened to walk off the job from May 13 to 15,<BR>>
disrupting during the first national literacy and numeracy tests.
The<BR>> resolution of the industrial dispute means those tests are now
likely to<BR>> go ahead without disruption.<BR>><BR>> AEU Victorian
branch president Mary Bluett said it was the best enterprise<BR>>
bargaining deal for teachers that she had seen in 25 years with the
union.<BR>><BR>> 11% rise for some<BR>><BR>> However, there
appears to be some contention over the increases announced<BR>> by
Premier John Brumby and Education Minister Bronwyn Pike this
morning.<BR>><BR>> The Government says the deal will equate to a 4.9%
pay rise in the first<BR>> year and 2.7% in the second and third years of
the agreement.<BR>><BR>> But the union believes some of biggest
beneficiaries of the deal will get<BR>> between 8% and
11%.<BR>><BR>> "It's a complex arrangement, but the least any teacher
is going to get out<BR>> of this is somewhere between five and six per
cent per annum,'' Ms Bluett<BR>> said.<BR>><BR>> "This is the best
outcome in terms of salary and career structure in my<BR>> history as a
union official of 25 years standing,'' Ms Bluett said.<BR>><BR>>
Pupil-free days to stay<BR>><BR>> A key sticking point in negotiations
was the issue of pupil-free days,<BR>> which the Government had
originally wanted to abolish.<BR>><BR>> Under the new deal, three
pupil free training days will be brought to the<BR>> start of the term
and become professional training days and only one will<BR>> be held
mid-term, in a bid to minimise disruption to parents.<BR>><BR>> It
also includes an exits strategy to remove disengage teachers from<BR>>
classroom and find them new jobs.<BR>><BR>> Secondary students will
get an extra six days of tuition each year under<BR>> the deal, Mr Brumby
said, describing it as a win for students and<BR>>
teachers.<BR>><BR>> "A graduate teacher in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Victoria</st1:State></st1:place> currently
earns $46,127 and under this<BR>> agreement will become the highest-paid
graduate teacher in the country<BR>> earning $51,184, while an
experienced classroom teacher will receive a<BR>> $10,000 pay rise to
$75,500."<BR>><BR>> Mr Brumby said the pay deal was consistent with
the Government's wages<BR>> policy of a 3.25% rise every year, plus
increases off-set by service<BR>> improvement.<BR>><BR>>
