DOES YOUR SCHOOL PAY TEACHERS FOR TEACHING DUAL CREDIT CLASSES?
Questions: Do your teachers get paid for teaching Dual Credit classes and do they get extra prep time?
Answer seems to be: No and No.
Mike ours do it as part of their normal teaching assignment. It has worked out very well here and additional prep time has never be4en an issue. We offer 12 dual credit and three AP classes.
We will be offering our first dual credit course next fall. At this
time we do not anticipate any additional compensation for the teacher.
No extra compensation or prep time from the school district. I think the ones here get a stipend from Lincoln Land CC.
No.
It is counted as a regular HS class from their perspective however for our college they must have a Masters.
The answer for theScales Mound School District is no to both questions.
They teach the comm.college class during their prep time and the college pays them for teaching the college class.
Our teachers do not receive extra compensation nor do they get extra
prep time.
If the course is taught during the master schedule they get paid per
their normal contract. In this case there are no fees for our students.
In the event the class is outside our normal school hours, the students
pay for the course to the community college and the instructor is paid
by the community college. No extra prep time is allowed in either case.
Not in Indian Prairie School District #204.
No extra prep.
Two release days/year to attend meetings and/or workshops.
The cooperating college/university allows them to take a class or two free each year.
In the past SLU has given our HS a stipend based on the number of students in the program, and we allow the dual credit teachers to use that money towards their classroom. Last year our dual credit English teacher wanted a smart board with the stipend from SLU so the school used the money for that.
No extra compensation, other than our best students enroll in the dual credit courses and they get to have the best kids in their classes (normally).
Hope this helps.
At Minooka, our teachers are required to have a Masters degree and are paid
by us and it is part of their teaching load, not the community college.
They get the same prep time as the other teachers since they are teaching
the same load.
Tremont High School - No extra compensation or prep..
no - Greenville HS
Not at A-HHS.
This has been a topic of discussion in our administrative meetings
several times over the past few years. Our stance is that these
teachers are on a full time contact with us. They get the same prep
time as others. My personal contention is if they wish to teach for a
college, we can give them a part time (1/4, 1/2, or 3/4) contract to
teach for us and the time they teach for the college they get paid by
the college. I take this stance since our teachers teach the same
subject content and give the same assignments to everyone in the class,
regardless of whether they are paying tuition for dual credit or not.
If we pay them for teaching a dual credit class while they are getting
paid for teaching a HS class (full time contract), they are in fact
double dipping and I am CERTAIN that would be a HUGE union issue.
No
They teach the exact lessons they already teach. The only thing extra
they do is fill out a grade sheet for the college. I have in the past
given them $250 for this and guaranteeing that their curriculum aligns
with the college which requires a meeting with the college department.
This $250 for each teacher came from the college. The college is
getting money for each HS student taking their courses.
No, and no.
We do not pay any differently. Since they teach MWF, then the the TR days
off are extra prep for them.
No
We currently offer the following course for Dual Credit taught by our teachers:
Almost everything in CTE
Calculus
Rhetoric
Pre-Calculus
Medical Terminology
No. We offer severak dual credit classes and have never offered extra
compenstaion or extra prep time.
We have been doing these for several years. There is no extra pay or extra prep time. The class is simply part of their daily schedule like any other class.
No for both.
No
We offer dual credit and NO extra compensation.
The dual credit classes that are taught by our staff are courses they would normally teach (an Ag class...a tech class...and we are looking into Chemistry) therefore they do not receive extra compensation or prep time from our district. Some of our students also attend classes at the local jr. college for dual credit or dual enrollment.
No money from the district or local Jr. College. No time off.
They are not teaching anything extra. We have made sure that the dual
credit classes fit our curriculum. This past year the local college has
required portfolios for a dual credit math class. This has caused a little
stir because of the extra work required by the teachers. I have asked the
college to compensate...... no luck so far.
No extra prep time but the college does give them tuition waivers if they
would like to take a class.
The dual credit course is just part of their class load. They are classes
we offer, the students just get college credit. Our local C.C. does provide
a small amount of $ per student that the teacher can use for supplies for
those classes (theoretically).
No on either account.
The answer is yes and the teachers get nothing additional- it is becoming a sore subjecthere.
Our teachers are not currently compensated for teaching dual credit classes. There has been talk of it, but nothing has come of it.
No extra compensation, but it is a part of their regular teaching
assignment.
At Dee-Mack High, we offer dual credit Eng 110 & Eng 111.
No extra prep time.
The teachers used to get the extra pay stipend until the ol' Supt. found out and said "no" to 'double dipping'. Now the district gets the stipend, usually to pay for updating the English 110 texts more often than other courses.
We are in our first year of dual credit courses in Government, Music
Appreciation, and English Composition. Although discussed, our teachers arenot treated any differently than any other faculty member. In thebeginning, our teacher association was requesting the same schedule as thecollege- teach the class M-W-F and have T-Th off those periods or pay themextra for the extra time. The discussion eventually centered around what isbest for our students.
The teachers that do teach the dual credit have discovered that class sizesare small (16 or so) and that the students are motivated to do well. Thathas been the "extra".
Good luck- it is beneficial to students in the long run.
