Members Present

Practicum Supervisor: Mr. Devon Gordon-Rowe

Phebe indicated that the group felt lost in what it was doing. Mr. Rowe then asked for an update. Phebe advised that the group had prepared a draft of the salary survey and that we had just received a copy of the JTA document, portions of the JEF Salary Survey document and the new salary scale based on the new agreement between the JTA and Government.

Mr. Gordon-Rowe advised that the group was on the right path and that the JTA document would help us in terms of content of the project and the current salary survey draft will form part of the individual final report. The group should now be focused on the survey instruments, in the form of a questionnaire.

The survey instrument should also include questions on pay and benefits, and should not focus only on the teachers as our project involves other jobs such as ancillary and administration.

Mr. Rowe questioned: “how the increase affects the present salaries?” He was advised that the group had not yet gone through the document in detail so we could not provide that analysis at this time.

Mr. Rowe advised that the group for the next meeting should focus on the following areas:
Ø Salary Survey Instrument
Ø Job Summaries (within the five companies)

He indicated that our proposal should be better than the JTA document and it should be used as a benchmark. The group should also look at doing a standard deviation analysis for the salaries.
