Compensation:

Please be advised that we are an entity independent of any and every school district and teacher union. As such, we are not bound by their pay rates for teachers, as we have our own (see below).

The regular hourly rate for the teacher is $55/hour. This includes the participation in the Training Academy, the link for which is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1htC12VWGojJCAkKEmzFl86v4Lfy9Ih1_/edit

For CareerVisions, Ltd., the regular hourly rate for the teaching artist is $55/hour. This does not include the participation in the Training Academy, the link for which is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1htC12VWGojJCAkKEmzFl86v4Lfy9Ih1_/edit. For CareerVisions, Ltd., the training academy rate is $27.50/hour, which is half the regular rate. This because CareerVisions, Ltd. is a different company, with much less funding than CareerVisions, NY.

The rate for the trainer varies between $60/hour, and the flat rates of up to $300 for delivering workshops for parents; and between $500 (for half-day sessions of less than 3.5 hours) and $800 (for full-day sessions of more than 3.5 hours) for delivering external workshops to our clients, depending on the assignment. Trainers do not bill for prep time, independent research and/or independent writing of workshop outlines, as it is built into their compensations.

Staff may bill for one Training Academy session per phase.
Staff are welcomed to attend more sessions in a single phase, but they may only bill for one.
Teacher PAI lesson plans are designed for a single session in a day. Please only bill for single lesson plans that are implemented on a single day. Please do not bill for the same lesson plan more than once.

Bonus:

Teachers will receive a bonus for completing the following tasks on the same day:

    • For each day, teachers/teaching artists will be able to bill separately, as completed, for: 
      • .25 hours (15 minutes) for attendance entry (photo + P/A entry); 
      • .25 hours for each distinct learning plan designed using Teacher PAI; and 
      • .25 hours for each lesson plan summary at the end of each lesson. 
        • Each summary should be shared with and documented by students each ensuing lesson. 
    • These must be done on the same day in order to qualify for the daily bonus, as each task on its own does not consume .25 hours, hence the bonus for same day completion and submission. Each item is separate. Please do not charge for any item not completed on the same day.

Qualifications:

Must be accomplished in an academic or art discipline and capable of delivering engaging, dynamic learning plans to students. Must be in good standing with the assigned school district and pass local/state/federal security clearances.

Please send resumes to jobs@communitychangeinc.com.
