The Department of Education is hiring educators to fill the newly created positions of "master" and "turnaround" teachers. The new  positions were designed in conjunction with the United Federation of Teachers to allow principals in "transformation Schools", those deemed "persistently low achieving" that the DOE wants to improve rather than close, to recruit top notch teachers who can help train and mentor others.

The new positions offer big a big boost in salary for those hired -- 30 percent for "master" and 15 percent for "turnaround" teachers -- but demand a lot in return.  Teachers must commit to working three years at the school and log up to 100 hours per school year beyond the contractual limit on tasks such as teacher training, curriculum development, and student data analysis.

The deadline to apply is Monday, August, 9 at 5 p.m.  You can view the full job listing here.

If you're a teacher in the system, you may have received a recruitment letter from the DOE's human resources department.  If not, check it out here.
