My biggest regret with regards my career was not selecting to go the Chartered Teacher Route. I went the PT route and now my authority are getting rid of the majority of PTs in Primary Schools. So after 3 years of conserved salary I go back to class teacher salary. If I had gone CT my salary would have been safe and the government would have funded me to finish my masters. So to quote Connie Francis...Who's Sorry Now!
How bout you?
CT salaries are "safe" for the moment and will increase as per mainscale (for the moment) (1% in April.)
babelike If I had gone CT my salary would have been safe

I know of one PT who has been on conserved salary for 11 years and decided to do CT last year to "not lose money" when it all gets even in 2016 - they are too late, shame..............not
I'm glad this conserved pay is being stopped. Sorry if I sound bitter - I am, as the fachead nonesense blocked any chances of promotion I had. I did my CT in good faith to enhance my teaching; I didn't finish it (I'm a slow worker!) but have a few steps up the ladder, and I believe I'm more effective than said conserved PT ( oops! I sound like subman now about his tutor time/pastoral care role)
