Teacher Rules, Roles and Rights

"Teacher Rules, Roles and Rights" gives the public unprecedented access to the content of collective bargaining agreements and employee handbooks from all over the country. It is the only place you can find so many agreements and school policies in a single location. And we have done much of the work for you, sorting through mountains of text to create a new online interface. This tool gives users the opportunity to compare and contrast over 300 distinct provisions in agreements on a full range of topics, including:

Benefits
School calendar
Class sizes
Salary and differential pay
Evaluation
Grievances
Leave
Professional development
Safety, security and class management
Employment termination procedures
Teacher transfer procedures
Union membership

"The portal is the first of its kind-empowering anyone to analyze and compare the day-to-day operations of teachers and schools in a single district or all fifty. You can choose to download the full text of a teacher contract, just the salary schedule, and even the school calendar. Or perhaps you just have a single question and don't want to wade through lengthy documents. Most likely the answer is in our database, easily retrieved in three quick steps using our report generator. The database provides answers to over 300 questions, ranging from salary and benefits to how a teacher gets evaluated--with more getting added all the time."
