Empowering Teachers


Leveraging our SEZP teacher’s contract to provide unprecedented:
  • Expanded Learning Time Stipends: The new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) provides additional pay for teachers working in expanded time schools.
  • Professional Compensation: A new career ladder will differentiate and compensate teachers based on their professional development and impact on students. The new system will enable highly effective teachers to attain higher levels of compensation faster than in a traditional steps and lanes system.
  • Authentic Teacher Voice: The SEZP CBA values teacher input throughout the school planning and implementation process. It requires a Teacher Leadership Team (TLT) to be elected by the teachers at the school and vests a considerable amount of responsibility and decision making in that body. For example, working conditions will be set at the each individual school based on the School Operational Plan (SOP) developed by the TLT.
