I believe it shows they do have the ability to be excellent. I would like to see results of a study showing that it does make a difference. I also feel that they need to get the money that they were promised.Ella Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004885232852482737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-36017238024291430622009-02-26T21:18:00.000-05:002009-02-26T21:18:00.000-05:00National Certified Teachers have gone through an e...National Certified Teachers have gone through an extremely rigorous process.

It does show that these teachers have the ability to be Master Teachers, but this certification along does not show that a teacher is a good teacher on a daily basis. I see the 10% raise for 7 years as a little bit high. The increase in pay is approximately $4,000 to $8.000 dollars a year. When you are talking about thousands of teachers the cost to the state is quiet high to taxpayers. <BR/><BR/>I do feel that this is a promise that was made to the teachers and they went into this thinking that they would be paid this money for this number of years.Ella Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004885232852482737noreply@blogger.com
