Teachers should be paid on years experience.

I believe that there should be a "Mastery" status level that teachers can obtain that would lead to extended contracts and a significant pay increase.

How does this make sense? In my first year of teaching, I taught all the math classes of a small school. The school had averaged approximately 52% in the previous 4 years on province-wide, standardized math tests. My first year resulted in an average of 71% on the same tests, which was maintained for the next 3 years until I moved somewhere else.

Good thing that the guy I replaced, a teacher with about 12 years experience (and he was also well-regarded) was getting paid the highest of our 10-year pay scale, and I was clearly a better teacher, but got paid the lowest of our 10-year pay scale because I was new.
