That's what a new New York City charter school is offering, along with up to $25,000 a year in bonuses. But there are a few catches.
The school day will be longer. The school year will be longer. And the school will enroll at-risk middle schoolers, with those who have the lowest test scores given first dibs.
The average teacher in Florida made $46,922 last year, so this must be of interest, right? To read more about the school, click here. To read one teacher's take, click here. Here's a taste of what she had to say:
I believe the school's model, if successfully executed, could potentially spark the change needed in many of America's worst-performing schools. Although I currently work with special-needs children in Manhattan preschools, I remain seriously troubled by the low graduation rates, unhealthy working and learning environments, and the general disarray of the high schools at which I recently taught in the South Bronx. While there were, of course, several well-meaning teachers and administrators at these schools, it was clear that the city's model of recruiting inexperienced teachers and administrators to work at hard-to-staff schools in troubled neighborhoods wasn't working.
