That would make you level 2. Next year you will be elligible for 2+ However, I strongly recommend you take a 100 hour TESL course this year and perhaps you will be moved up to level 1 next year. The course pays for itself within a month or two of your new salary.

I don't mean to sound negative I am trying to justify my demand to be status-ed as a 2+.

My reading of the Chart on the EPIK website.

States 1 year experience is level 2 and remaining in the same POE with 1 year experience is level 2+.

Does anyone else read it that way?

At the end of this upcoming contract I will be returning to FL to obtain such certification, I also expect to certify as a teacher in FL.

� As a Level 2, contract renewal at the same POE

Not to pick a nit (Okay it is a nit but nit are important in contract law)
but it does NOT say as a level 2 for one year.

See the 1+ requirement where it states the longevity necessary.
