Moving up the FWEA/FWPS Salary Schedule
by Submitting Clock hours
The process
Many members are surprised to find out that they have been sitting on additional income that we have already bargained.
Why? Because our clock hours or credits have accumulated and they haven't submitted them to move up the salary scale. Some members report earning hundreds of dollars more per month by finally submitting clock hours that they have had for years.
Yes, it's true. We should keep the every yellow carbon copy we get after every professional development. But there's so much more to moving up the salary scale, and FWEA is here to help guide you through the process.
Here is our FWEA member-tested, step-by-step guide. Below, you'll find the forms that are noted and required in the guide too.

Educator Retooling Conditional Scholarship Program
The Educator Retooling Conditional Scholarship Program provides financial support to Washington State certified teachers who seek to expand their knowledge and skills by adding endorsements in subject or geographic shortage areas.
This program is administered jointly by the Professional Educator Standards Board (responsible for selecting recipients) and the Washington Student Achievement Council (responsible for distributing awards). Funding for this program is dependent upon annual budget appropriations from the Washington State legislature. The state laws establishing this program include the RCWs on Retooling (28A.660.045) and Conditional Scholarship Programs (28A.660.050). Educators need to obtain administrative support and submit complete application materials to be considered for an award.
