Academic Leadership Compensation Program

(ALCP) Review

Why review ALCP?

Equity Allocation of funds It’s time

…but first, a brief overview of “What is ALCP?”

Academic Leadership Compensation Program (ALCP)

Purpose support instructional leadership needs &

professional growth

Background Transitioned from previous “Career Ladder”

model ALCP took effect 97/98 school year

ALCP administrative structure

2 varieties of ALCP stipends: Division Instructional Responsibilities Site (School) Based Responsibilities

The Divisional and Site-Based stipends differ by: mandated or optional responsibility Funding mechanism If the stipend $ amount can vary

ALCP - Division Instructional Responsibilities

Every school must have teachers assigned to these responsibilities

Responsibility for funding is at the divisional level

Amounts are pre-determined and do not vary Individual stipends from $500-$2000/yr,

depending on assignment

ALCP - Site (School) Based Responsibilities Principals can ‘create’ these site-based responsibilities as

needed a position rating scale is used to determine stipend amount

(range from $250-$2000/yr)

Site-based positions do not necessarily have an incumbent … and there are many different titles No school has a person in all of the possible positions

Responsibility for funding any desired positions lies with the specific school Paid for from their funding allocation, based on enrollment Number of positions staffed dependent on available funds

Coordinator Volunteer Coordinator Yearbook Advisor

Position Rating Scale for Site-Based stipends 6 categories, each assigned a point value:

Instructional Connection (0-6 points) This factor considers the coordination and organization of instruction activities, the impact of the role on

student learning, and the leadership required at the school and the division levels. Financial Responsibility (0-4 points)

This factor considers the degree of financial responsibility required by the teacher in executing his duties. The size of the budget, fundraising requirements, and allocation responsibilities are components considered in applying this criterion.

Direct Involvement with Students (0-4 points) This factor considers the number of students with whom the teacher has direct involvement in carrying

out his responsibilities for this assignment. Direct Involvement with Staff/Parents (0-4 points)

This factor considers the number of staff and parents with whom the teacher has direct involvement in carrying out his responsibilities for this assignment.

Time Requirements (0-6 points) Factors considered in rating this criterion include the amount of time the teacher is expected to use,

including school planning time, afterschool and weekend time commitment, as well as overnight supervision requirements.

Level of Responsibility (0-7 points) Factors considered here include the degree to which the teacher works independently, represents the

school to the public, and impacts the broader school community. Point total indicates annual stipend amount:

0-3 = $250; 4-6 = $500; 7-10 = $750; 11-14 = $1000; 15-18 = $1250; 19-22 = $1500; 23-26 = $1750; 27-30 = $2000

So, to return to why we are reviewing ALCP …

Equity

Allocation of funds

It’s time

Review for Equity

Internal equity Perceptions of unfairness Varying workloads/responsibilities

External equity Never before compared externally, not a

consideration VEA data: Extra Pay for Extra Services

Review – Allocation of funds

Utility of stipends What is necessary? Are all of the divisional

responsibilities appropriate, since they are required?

Higher or lower priority?

Reallocation of funds What should be compensated more? Less?

Review - timeframe

ALCP structure established in 1997 Any changes since then? “Subject to annual review”

The goal of ALCP review?

Ensure that the program is compensating The right roles At the right rate

Information we have

We know that the program hasn’t been looked at in a long time, it’s probable that some tweaking is needed

Anecdotal issues of inequity from teachers Some feel they are not paid enough for their ALCP role,

others have said that they are receiving a stipend for doing very little

Board-adopted compensation strategy, with a defined competitive market, compared to VEA data

VEA Survey

Scope of VEA study: extra pay to teachers for extra services in Virginia school divisions

We took published data and cross-referenced for Albemarle adopted market responses Data indicated that we are generally below market

How do we proceed? To ensure that the program is compensating the right roles at the

right rates:

The ‘right roles’ Divisional:

Since Divisional are required, the usefulness of each one of these responsibilities should be scrutinized

Focus group to evaluate utility & determine which roles are appropriate for this category

Site-Based Since Site-Based are subject to Principals’ varying priorities & funding, they

are continually making their own determinations of utility – a review process is already built in here, but is it appropriate?

Focus group to review ALCP Position Rating Scale and approval process of role creation/stipend amount determination

Feedback on Divisional Roles Current Divisional Roles:

Lead Teacher/Department Chairs English (Middle, HS) Mathematics (Middle, HS) Science (Middle, HS) Social Studies (Middle, HS) Instructional Council Member K-2 (Elem) Instructional Council Member 3-5 (Elem) Core Content Support (Elem) Health/PE (Elem, Middle, HS) Fine Arts (HS) Practical Arts (HS) World Language (Middle, HS) Media (HS) Instructional Technology (Elem, Middle, HS) Special Education (Elem, Middle HS)

School Improvement (Elem, Middle, HS) Team Leaders (Large Elem, Middle) Technology Troubleshooter (Elem, Middle, HS) Testing Coordinator (Elem, Middle, HS) Web Page Coordinator (Elem, Middle, HS) Teacher Mentor (Elem, Middle, HS) Equity & Diversity Coordinator (Elem, Middle, HS)

What other roles, if any, should be Divisional?

How do we proceed?

To ensure that the program is compensating the right roles at the right rates: The ‘right rates’

Once the right roles are established, use market data along with the Position Rating Scale to determine appropriate stipend amount Need to gather information from administration (divisional)

and principals/incumbents (schools) Is the existing Position Rating Scale appropriate?
