Vice Principals at the high school level deserves these raises.  principals are hardly at schools.  but overall i know they do lots for their school and take on lots of stress from teachers, parents, staff.
I commented in the teachers raise article and no one took me on about wanting to know what is an Academic coach position that one of the teachers who was interview is doing.  I also wanted to know what is an curriculum coordinator.  i mean don't they set the curriculum by the start of a school year, so why do you need a full time curriculum coordinator.  What does a academic coach do? is this position for students or teachers? if its for teachers i do not understand.  did all these teachers get a teaching degree? pass state lic exam, but they still need a academic coach?  come people help me understand this.  any academic coaches out there? please chime in. and let me know what you do everyday for 6 hrs.  i might want to apply
