The
Holliday C-2 School District Career Ladder Plan
The Holliday C-2 School District is
committed to providing a successful educational experience for all
students. Educational excellence is
dependent largely on the skill, talent and dedication of educators. The purpose of the Career Ladder Program is
to enhance the educational experience of students by recognizing and rewarding
productive, effective educators. The
Holliday C-2 School District has developed a School Improvement Plan, a
Curriculum Development Plan, a Professional
Development Plan and participates in the Missouri School Improvement Program in
order to facilitate and improve the educational experience for all
students.
All
Career Ladder responsibilities will be academic in nature and shall directly
and obviously relate to the improvement of programs and services for students
as outlined in the Holliday C-2 School Improvement Plan, Curriculum Development
Plan, Professional Development Plan, the Missouri School Improvement Program or
other instructional improvement in the Holliday C-2 School District and the
teacher’s Career Development Plan (CDP) will associate each Career Ladder
responsibility with either a designated plan or other instructional
improvement. In order to coordinate
these activities, the School District will conduct a meeting consisting of the
chairpersons of committees involved, the superintendent, patrons and school
board members for the purpose of coordinating activities and exchanging
ideas. This meeting will be held
annually, prior to February 15.
The
Holliday C-2 School District shall award qualified participating teachers
supplemental pay in an amount to be specified annually not to exceed $1500 for
Stage I, $3,000 for Stage II, or $5,000 for Stage III. This supplemental pay shall be in addition to
the salary normally accorded the teacher by the teacher by the district’s
salary schedule.
In
order to participate a Holliday C-2 educator shall meet the following
qualifications prior to participation:
Stage
I / Stage II / Stage III
Stage I
A. Five (5) years teaching experience in
the Missouri public schools.
B. On the Performance Based Teacher
Evaluation – the educator shall have performed at the expected level or above
on all criteria on the most recent final evaluation instrument of the PBTE.
C. Be serving on not less than regular
length full time contract.
D. Have appropriate certification except
upon good cause shown.
E. Have developed a Career Development
Plan (CDP) that contains responsibilities that the educator will assume in
order to receive his/her Career Ladder supplemental pay. The educator will complete a minimum of 2

The educator shall relate each responsibility to an identified plan or
other instructional improvement on Form C.
This plan will be typed and be prepared on the forms supplied at the end
of this plan.
Stage II
A. Successful completion of the Stage I CDP. To qualify for Stage II, a teacher shall have
completed a CDP and two (2) years of service on Stage I of the Career Ladder. One year of service on the previous stage may
be waived by the local Board of Education based upon a total of seven (7) years
teaching in the public schools.
B. On the Performance Based Teacher
Evaluation – the educator shall have performed at the expected level or above
on all criteria and above the expected level on at least 10% of the criteria on

teachers and librarians, guidance counseling process area for counselors and
the process area most closely related to specific job performance as it relates
to students ofr school psychological examiners,
parents as teachers educators, school psychologists, special education diagnosticians
and speech pathologists. In order to
identify such performance, the following process may be employed:
1.
At
the beginning of the year preceding movement to Stage II, the Career Ladder
educator will identify, in collaborations with that educator’s evaluator, those
criteria on which the teacher feels he/she is performing and will continue to
perform above the level of expectation.
2.
The
process for documenting these criteria will clearly specify the behaviors to be
evaluated, the manner in which they will be evaluated and the evaluation
criteria to be employed.
3.
During
the school year, the educator will be evaluated through the formative
evaluation process with respect to the identified criteria.
4.
At
the conclusion of the school year, the teacher will be evaluated through the
final evaluation instrument with respect to the identified criteria. This will occur prior to the administrator
signing Form A certifying that the educator meets all
requirements for participation in the Career Ladder on Stage II.
Note:
Unless the teacher’s performance is being evaluated through the
district’s regular cycle, evaluation shall be conducted only on the specific
criteria.
C. Be serving on not less than a regular
length full time contract.
D. Have appropriate certification except
upon good cause shown.
E. Have developed a Career Development
Plan (CDP) that contains responsibilities that the educator will assume in
order to receive his/her Career Ladder supplemental pay. The educator will complete a minimum of 3 responsibilities

shall relate each responsibility to an identified plan or other instructional
improvement on form C. This plan will be

educator will identify, in collaboration with that educator’s evaluator, those
criteria on which the teacher feels she/he is performing and will continue to
perform above the level of expectation.

evaluation and assistance to teachers in the improvement of instruction.
