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>

cease to be highly skilled classroom teachers just because they accept
additional responsibility, work longer hours, be available to students AND

Victorian teachers to be nation's best-paid<BR>><BR>> Farrah Tomazin May
5, 2008 - 11:33AM<BR>> <<A
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:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Victoria</st1:place></st1:State>
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>> State-by-state teacher
