How a teacher salary schedule works Salary schedules are charts that outline teacher pay based on years of experience and education. Every district has its own schedule, negotiated with its teachers union. A schedule allows teachers to earn raises three ways. ■ Steps: For each additional year of work, a teacher moves down another step on the schedule, to a new pay level. Some districts have a limited number of steps on their schedules. Others, such as Green Bay, have an infinite number of steps. ■ Lanes: By earning additional graduate credits or advanced degrees, teachers can move into new lanes of the salary schedule. Different districts offer lane changes for different amounts of education. ■ Base pay: When the base is increased, that increase is factored through all the other steps and lanes in the salary schedule — every figure on the schedule is connected through a formula to the base. How it works Look at the example of Green Bay’s salary schedules for 2001-02 and 2002-03. (Only a portion of each schedule is shown.) Three scenarios demonstrate how teachers earn raises by moving through the schedule: ■ Teacher A had a bachelor’s degree in 2001-02. Before the next school year, this person completed 15 graduate credits. The teacher’s salary goes from step four in the bachelor’s lane to step five in the bachelor’s plus 15 credits lane. ■ Teacher B finished 15 credits beyond a master’s degree between 2001-02 and 2002-03. That teacher’s salary would move from the 18th step in the master’s degree lane to the 19th step in the master’s plus 15 credits lane. ■ Teacher C has a master’s degree plus 45 credits and has no more lanes to move into. That teacher’s salary moves from the 39th step of the last lane to the 40th step of the last lane.
