Selection of a classroom teacher for an advanced teaching role and award of related salary supplements shall be made on the basis of demonstrated effectiveness and additional responsibilities.
(3)Enable local school administrative units to create innovative compensation models that focus on classroom teacher professional growth that lead to measurable improvements in student outcomes.
(4)Utilize local plans to establish organizational changes related to compensation in order to sustain evidence-based teaching practices that have the capacity to be replicated throughout the State. (2024-57, s. 3J.16(a).)
