Compensation

Model Salary Schedule

Public Law 90-2011 (I.C. 20-28-9-1) requires the Indiana Department of Education to publish a model salary schedule by January 31, 2012. The purpose of this model salary schedule is three-fold. First, it can be adopted by a school corporation as a component of its overall compensation system. Second, it is built to be customized and can be changed and modified at the local level to meet the needs of the school corporation. Third, it can serve as one example of how a performance pay system can be built to meet legal requirements.

You may access the department's model in the Excel document below. A narrative with directions for the model and general information on performance pay is also included below.

Excellence in Performance Awards for Teachers Grant

The Excellence in Performance Awards for Teachers Grant program will allocate funds to public school corporations and charter schools to make cash awards to effective and highly effective teachers as identified through the local performance evaluation system that meets the requirements established in IC 20-28-11.5.  Grant winners will be selected based on legal standards as well as the quality of the corporation’s evaluation system in terms of ability to accurately differentiate teacher effectiveness; support, develop, and retain excellent educators; and ultimately drive student performance.

Cash awards may not be used for any purpose other than allocating cash awards to effective and highly effective teachers.
