Extra Duty Extra Pay

Well, I think my principal knows how busy and hectic my life is right now. I went into her office to discuss with her much of the learning theory that we are talking about in our classes. She is current with he research and she is planning on presenting some to our staff in a few weeks. At this time, she also told me that the amount of work I am devoting to our technology is too much to go without acknowledgement. At that time she told me the type of work I was doing is something that should be paid for. Currently she is looking into getting me Extra Duty, Extra Pay (basically overtime) for the work I am doing on our school's Dukane system.

The Dukane system is a school wide broadcasting system, video on demand, and video programming system. I was trained primarily in the video programming (for an hour), but need more training in the other areas. We have been experiencing many problems in the other areas. I have been in constant contact with our district tech staff to help fix the problem. It has taken much time out of my day as well as my teaching day. I'm glad she acknowledged this! It is worth it. It will help me to get buy-in on other things.
