Mr. Mahoney,

I am from a smalll community based non-profit in Maryland and also am interested in pay scales for instructors and program staff, both part time hourly and full time salaried.  

Our organization has "ranges" and starting wage based on experience and degrees.  However, any information I can learn from other programs would help in comparing our compensation system and market rate with other programs.   

Since our state will soon be in a position to increase the number of full-time staff positions, particularly instructors, I am interested in knowing what other states are doing with compensation.  What are the pay ranges and what type of benefit packages are being offered.   What is considered when determining salary and wage increases? And what are the general hourly rates for part time instructors?  What is the requirementfor and how does professional development fit in the compensation equation?

Our hourly instructional rate ranges from $15 - 20/hour depending on degrees and years of experience.  We offer this hourly rate with prep time being paid.  I know some programs build prep time into their base pay instead of accounting for it separately.

Brian, I am happy to speak directly with you or anyone else who wishes more detail on our compensation program. (410-625-4215).   Adult education and literacy is emerging in more and more states across the country as an established field of education with professionals who deserve appropriate compensation packages.  Let's share this information  with each other.  Many thanks.

Sonia Socha, Executive Director
South Baltimore Learning Center

I'm a member of the Personnel Committee for a state-wide adult ed 
program in a small state.
Our committee would like to hear from other programs on how they move 
employees through the pay grades.
How are the pay grades established in your program?  What factors are 
involved in moving though them? Performance? Seniority? What 
combination? What else do you take into account?
Any responses would be appreciated

Hello colleagues,

Our program development this year has been concentrated on ways to implement
a participatory approach.  To that end, my staff and I are interested in
comparing notes about how this approach is used in adult English classes.
We are interested in arranging site visits to programs.  Two programs we
would like to visit are English for Action in Rhode Island and Mujeres
Unidas in Boston.  We would like to hear from any other programs or of any
other programs around the U.S. that actively seek to incorporate this
approach into their curriculum.

Thank you for your time!

Valley Peters
