Teachers/teaching artists and trainers can take on one or more project depending upon availability. There are multiple projects throughout New York State (https://communitychangeinc.com/service-locations-2/).

Each project runs up to 14-weeks. The teacher/teaching artist/trainer is compensated for roughly 95 hours (roughly 7 hours weekly) per assigned project/semester, with exceptions based on each specific project. This includes:

• Authorized, scheduled sessions with target population. Hours of sessions based on the assignment/program schedule (generally, at least two hours per session, four hours weekly for 14 weeks/56 hours total, per assigned project, with exceptions based on each assignment);
• Seven scheduled, 2-hour team meetings (or 14, 1-hour meetings, 14 hours total) per semester per assigned coordinator/director.

All research and writing for the learning plans and phase summaries of completed projects (Phases 1 – 6) will be covered in the form of the bonus. Bonuses will only be issued for original, unduplicated and completed lessons for replication that 1. follow our format, 2. are detailed (i.e. “reading” and “discussing”, or derivatives of those words, are not used to explain exercises); and 3. are submitted during the pay period of the close of the project or semester. Bonuses will not be issued in whole nor in part for incomplete or error-filled learning plans.

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, depending on their employer. The rate for participating in the Summer Training Institute and other internal trainings/meetings is half of the regular hourly rate with the exception of the Training Academies, in which case, teachers are compensated at the regular, $55/hour rate.

The compensation rate for the teaching artist is $55/hour.

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 independent research and/or independent writing of workshop outlines, as it is built into their compensations.

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.
