I’ve been offered a nice job at a competitive suburbs high school that I am legitimately excited about. The department is reputable and I feel I can likely stay there for a while. There’s one thing I’m wondering though: are they being super stingy in their salary step placement?
I have a litany of teaching experience in various roles dating back to 2014 (esl, tutoring companies, university writing courses) and two years at a high school—one full time as a long term sub and the other as contracted faculty with a one-year only contract. The suburbs school is counting only one year of experience in their step system , meaning I’d start at step 2 despite relevant experience.
Is this common to others’ experience? Do I accept and just let it be (the pay shoots up pretty quickly from there)? Do I continue to negotiate? (I’m taking a pay cut from my current school to go to this new one; do I mention this?)
As I mentioned it’s a competitive position that likely receives hundreds of applicants. I don’t want to mess anything up there but if it’s possible to start at a higher step…
Any help would be great.
