Final results from last week’s survey. The survey is now closed (as of 11/22) but you can read the original post here.

Unless you make $34.77* per hour, your program should be paying you for prep time. But what does that really mean?
Take this survey and tell us:
*(taken from our FAQs):
The rates support a teaching to prep time ratio of 2:1. This results in a “contact hour rate” of $34.77 for teachers, based on a direct service rate of $18.54/classroom hour plus 25% fringe benefits, plus prep time: $23.17 X 1.5 = $34.77/hour. Paid prep time is not required when the hourly rate meets or exceeds the contact hour rate.
