Salary supplements of 2%, 4% and 6% are available for completing certain clusters or obtaining certain Skills and Knowledge. To see a complete description of approved clusters, go to the state's DEEDS site. Then scroll down the right hand column and click on Salary Increases. You will find information there about the available clusters as well as how to apply for salary credit for Graduate level courses of study.

Please note that this will be the last year that you may use undergraduate courses in your content area as part of approved "courses of study." And, as in the past, they may not be pedagogy courses.

There is a cap that you can earn through salary supplements of 15% of your state salary, except for Nationally Board certified teachers who are also mentors. Certified lead mentors receive a $1500 salary supplement, and mentors, $750.

Nationally-board certified teachers receive a 12% supplement for the duration - ten years - of their national certificate.

A 6% salary stipend will continue to be awarded to the following specialists who have received national certification from their respective professional organizations: school counselors, school nurses, music therapists, school psychologists, speech pathologists and audiologists.

The Budget Bill includes authorization for the Dept. of Education to assembly a Public Education Compensation Committee to review public education salary schedules. DSEA has a seat on this committee. This was a priority of DSEA. It's been ten years since the schedule was examined and changed to build in incentives for masters degree and experience. DSEA will be looking to making the schedule more competitive with other professions requiring similar levels of post-graduate achievement.
