u/Frequent-Guidance-47

Going into my eighth year as a special education SLP. As much as I love the kids, I find myself getting so frustrated with the public school system in general.
Wondering if anyone has experience transitioning into a related services supervisor or AAC consulting?
I’m wondering which degree avenue would be worth my time or any advice about what to do. It’s a long career ahead and I don’t see myself making it to 63 as part of the tier 6 retirement system in NY.

I’m currently in the process of changing school districts (both public NYS schools). When I spoke with HR, they did not give me a formal offer but discussed my credentials for mapping me on the salary scale. They told me they typically give salary steps on a 2:1 ratio for experience. I also have credits beyond my masters that they said they cannot honor as they were earned prior to being hired at the new district. I don’t see either of these stipulations explicitly outlined in the contact. I’m wondering how to appropriately negotiate. Do I negotiate on the phone when they call with an offer? After the phone call via email?
