Benefits and Compensation

At Mayacamas Countywide Middle School, we provide our teachers and staff with a competitive compensation and benefits package. Moreover, what we promise is an amazing environment for our teachers and staff, providing an opportunity to be part of an exciting adventure building a school from the ground up.  In addition, there is professional development time built into the regular schedule, so that you can focus on the challenges of differentiated and highly-individualized learning for our diverse student population, and for full-time teachers a 90 minute preparation period at least twice a week.  Each Wednesday, we take advantage of early release of our students, so that teachers can meet and learn from each other, collaborate, work on projects, and receive important information from our administrative leads and our community partners.

 

Full-time teachers are expected to teach five 90-minute courses, plus a 30-minute Advisory daily and forty-five minute Learning Lab 4 days per week.  On Wednesdays, all teachers lead their classes in shorter thirty-five minute blocks.  Part-time teachers are expected to cover alternative periods, as designated by the Head of School in consultation with you, and all teachers are asked to lead clubs and cover breaks in coordination with the Head of School and staff.

 

We provide teacher salary and benefits approximately as described below. Actual salaries take into consideration numerous factors, including but not limited to years of experience (and whether that experience is full or part-time), masters or doctorate in field relevant to the role, hard to fill roles [e.g., SpEd ], bi-lingual/BCLAD, and extra assignments. We will also consider Cost of Living Adjustments each year based on numerous factors, including the school’s budget and financial stability, market conditions, the California Governor’s COLA designation and state and federal funding.
