Principal's pay, a new website, and the Education Leaders Forum (P2P 2009/13e)

Kia Ora, we are into the last week of Term 3 and surely planning how best to recuperate in the term break as we face the last busy Term 4 of the year!

Life for us all is action packed as appraisals finish, planning starts and staffing is sorted though the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. Here’s hoping the provisional staffing notices for 2010 are good news for us all when they arrive.

 

Principals' pay - a short history

Have you ever wondered why our pay structure is like it is, or how the various parts of it came to be bolted on?
NZEI has just produced a short video covering pay negotiations for principals over the past 20 years.  It's a useful counterpart to the discussions many of you have been having at the NZEI ‘Let’s Meet’ principals’ seminars that have been held over the past few weeks.

By understanding the political and historical context of pay negotiation, I think we are better able as a group to determine where we want to go next, and how we work within the current environment to win successful outcomes for principals. View the video at www.nzei.org.nz

The NZEI Principals’Kit has been updated during 2009 by the NZEI Principals' Council, based on feedback and information received from many principals. It aims to give you tools to help deal with issues that arise regularly for you in your role as principal.

www.principalskit.org.nz is YOUR site. If you've got feedback about the kit, can't find what you need, want more information or have a good idea about a resource for the site, please let me know!

 

Last call…
