The Wellesley Educators Association Agreement for Unit A, under Article 13, describes the process whereby professional staff may advance to higher-paying salary lanes. Educators may make a salary lane change by completing a stand-alone degree program or earning credits piecemeal.<\/p>\n
The Lane Change Intention Form<\/strong><\/a> must be submitted by November 1st to indicate an intent to change lanes at the start of the following school year. You will receive a notification confirming the submission of your form. Please keep this for your records. The list does not carry over from year to year, so you must submit a new intention form each year until you successfully change lanes.<\/p>\n To achieve an M+30 lane change, a minimum of nine inservice credits are required. A minimum of three inservice credits are required to achieve an M+60 if the +30 was completed in Wellesley, or a nine inservice credit minimum is required if the +30 was not achieved in Wellesley. These are minimum requirements. You may use all inservice credits to achieve a lane change; however, they are not transferable to another district. Courses that are offered for inservice credit are considered pre-approved and are listed on your Transcript in Professional Learning<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Courses taken for graduate credit require pre-approval at least 30 days before the expected start of the course. Submit a Lane Change Course Approval Form in Professional Learning<\/a><\/em> under the “My Credit Requests” tab for each course you seek pre-approval. Course approvals are active from the approval date through June 30th of the following school year.<\/p>\n After you have completed a course, you have until June 30th of the following school year to submit proof of completion. Locate the pre-approved Lane Change Course Approval Form in Professional Learning<\/em><\/a> under the “My Credit Requests” tab and upload proof of completion. Once approved, the course will be added to your Transcript.<\/p>\n Please maintain documentation of all credits that will apply toward your lane change, even courses listed on your Transcript. A Lane Change Tracking Sheet<\/strong><\/a> template is available; please make a copy to edit.<\/p>\n When your records indicate you have achieved a lane change, please contact the Director of Professional Development to request a final review of your documentation. Coursework must be completed before the start of the school year in which you wish to apply the work towards a lane change. An educator’s salary increase will be effective at the beginning of the school year, provided all documentation is submitted by November 1st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Wellesley Educators Association Agreement for Unit A, under Article 13, describes the process whereby professional staff may advance to higher-paying salary lanes.
