Feedback suggested 75 per cent teachers in NSW would be interested in putting themselves forward for such a role 9News
'Expert teachers' could be paid almost $150,000 a year in a new proposal unveiled today by the New South Wales government.who are assessed as "expert" will be rewarded with a higher salary - as a way of recognising the skills they bring to the classroom.
"This approach is about recognising and rewarding the great teachers we have in our public schools, with the aim of keeping them in the classroom where they do their magic," NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said. The policy has been developed for the government by Professor John Hattie, a world-leading expert on education outcomes.The federation is asking for a pay rise of 5 per cent a year, plus an extra 2.5 per cent for experienced teachers. Its other demands include two more hours of planning time a week.
The government will also be holding more than 100 roundtables over the next four weeks with teachers and other school staff, from Murwillumbah in the north to Broken Hill in the west and Cooma in the state's south, to hear their feedback.Professor Hattie said it was important this policy was built from the profession up, rather than from the top down.
