Re: Stipend for advisors?

Some other figures you might want to have available when discussing this, in addition to the number of hours committed to the team, would be the number of students impacted, perhaps relevant demographic information about the team (are students from underrepresented minorities represented, presenting further grant opportunities), and how many team members graduate and pursue higher education in FIRST related fields. It would more the discussion away from a "look how much work I have to do" feeling to "look at all of the positive influences this program has on our students." It also opens their eyes to something else positive for the district (that they can take credit for) that may help with other funding in the future.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

I am checking in to see if there are others that have info to add. I am trying to get a range of figures for stipends for teacher advisors for FIRST.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

Well, I don't know if this helps, but in British Columbia teachers who are robotics sponsors are paid exactly the same as teachers who are coaches.

But that's because all extracurricular activities are unpaid and voluntary for public school teachers in BC.

Based on my experience coaching basketball and robotics, there is no doubt in my mind that if a sports coach receives $x then a robotics coach should, too.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

For the first seven years, 237 had an unpaid teacher who started the program up. Pal's travel expenses were paid, no stipend. He then retired.

The 8th year we could not find a teacher, but we could not travel without one. The school adminstration took turns traveling. The team paid the travel expenses.

The 9th year, we got a 1st year teacher involved, the school board came up with $1600 for a stipend, the team paid for travel. He's gone.

The only thing I know for this year is we have the stipend. No teacher yet.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

I've moved to a new school since my previous posts, and at 2014 we were approved this year for extra duty contracts commensurate with coaching (my soccer, robotics, and track salaries are all roughly the same).

Re: Stipend for advisors?

We used to have 2 teachers, 1 from West and 1 from Sherrard. For the past 3 seasons we've only had 1 teacher, from Sherrard. Why? Because he got extra $$ from the school while the other didn't. Sherrard's former teacher and founder didn't get stipends, though. Unfortunately, we lost the West teacher who was amazingly good at keeping people on task while being able to get off task if need be. Heck, he played knockout with us everynight after the meetings. I wish he could come back...

Re: Stipend for advisors?

The Rochester City School District doesn't pay anything nor do they fully recognize the teachers using it as enhancement credits either. The last I heard they would have allowed teachers to count them toward advancement credits but I'm not sure it stuck. The governor of NY supposed is being spoken to by our Finger Lakes RC Chairman and the new education director in Albany was the RCSD Superintendent that supported FIRST when he was here. There may be something coming down for NY state but I'll won't believe it till I see it.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

Our teacher gets $300, pretty low I think. When I was working at NASA this summer and going around for support of robotics education I came across the bill that should be introduced very soon by Congressman McCarthy from NY and Langevin from Rhode Island. It is aimed to provide teacher stipends for robotics at every high school with a robotics team and also provide training for those teachers that don't know as much. That is all the details I know right now, but I think it would be great.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

I know that this year (after much campaigning) our teacher-mentor is getting a stipend from the school board for robotics. As for the amount, and whether that applies to other robotics teachers in the district I can't speak for. I suspect it doesn't, because she's also helping develop a FLL/FTC-based robotics curriculum to be used in elementary/middle school science classes.

We've made major headway with out school board/superintendent this year. I think anyone else facing resistance like we did should remember that when encountering resistance, persistence is the key.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

Our school gives nothing to the teacher, the teacher has to pay for his own travel, and any substitute teachers has to be paid out of his class budget.

I'm going to pass this thread onto him.

Re: Stipend for advisors?

Science Foundation Arizona, through the Arizona FIRST planning committee, is providing a half a million dollars to promote the development of FIRST in Arizona!
Among some of the aspects of the grant they are providing $6,000.00 to new FRC teams and schools that fall under the category of Title I or rural. They are also providing $3000.00 to the teacher mentor as a stipend. $1000.00 for tools. They want 13 new FRC teams, 20 new FTC teams and 30 new FLL teams.
Team 842 has brought in 4 new schools to date and three new FLL teams. They are hosting the FTC and FLL qualifying events for the state. FIRST is growing in AZ. It looks like there are 7 new FRC teams so far out of the 13 new ones wanted!

Dang, can the non-teacher mentors get in on that action?!! That's excellent - I hope those funds can secure some truly dedicated teachers for the new teams.
