Stipend Pay: $1,500 per year on top of teaching salary paid on a monthly basis*

The teacher leader roles pay the total stipend amount listed above in the “Stipend” column. The stipend amount is subject to all taxes and regular withholdings as required by law. The stipend amount will be divided in equal parts and paid to the teacher each month for the duration of the role. For example, a person in an 11-month teacher leader position will receive 1/11th of the stipend amount each month, split between the two paychecks for the month, assuming the teacher leader remains in the role for the duration of the 11-month school year. 

If a teacher leader goes on leave or leaves work for any other reason, they will earn a pro-rata share of the stipend amount for the time worked. Also, if a teacher leader goes on leave or leaves work for any other reason, this position may be filled by another teacher either in the interim or for the duration of the role, depending on the current needs of the position, the school, and the timing of the leave. 

If a teacher leader accepts and moves into a different position with Ingenium in which the regular job responsibilities encompass the teacher leadership role responsibilities (e.g., administration, TOSA, etc.), then the teacher leader will receive the salary corresponding to the new role and will no longer receive the stipend amount, but will be paid a pro-rata share for the days already worked in the teacher leadership role.

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

Participation in the teacher leader roles requires active and full participation. Specifically, teacher leaders must attend all specified meetings, assigned professional development sessions, and designated work sessions. In-person sessions must be attended in-person; remote accommodations and make-up work will not be available due to the burden this places on the facilitator, the value of in person participation, and the inequity this creates for other participants required to meet in-person. Teacher leaders may be required to drive to other school sites after the regular school day. Teacher leaders must have the ability to drive by car to attend meetings, as needed, both after school and during non-work hours. Mileage is reimbursed at the rate required by law. Teacher leaders must also abide by general professional guidelines, such as attending meetings on time and completing work by required deadlines. Employees who do not meet participation expectations may be removed from their roles.
