Be aware of what are the industry demands in terms of the job role, qualification wise and check if your profile has these. Prepare yourself to list out and specify context where relevant attitudinal strengths have come to fore in your tenure with them. BE earnest while making future commitments to longevity and additional responsibilities.

When faced with this unfortunate reality, look to pivot and see if other contract amendments are agreeable at this time beyond an increase in base pay. Stay professional regardless of the outcome.

I would say that having honest proof of how your work should be recognized it’s a powerful move and if its written by others even better.

When negotiating for a raise or promotion, it's crucial to maintain professionalism. Approach the conversation with respect and clarity.

Avoid emotional pleas and ultimatums, and instead focus on your professional growth and positive impact on the school. A calm and reasoned approach will increase the likelihood of a positive outcome.

As with all negotiations, it is important to approach the situation with grace. I would open the negotiation with a statement of how much you are enjoying the work and what some of your favorite moments have been in the job. I would then progress to your previously prepared talking points and examples of how you have exceeded expectations before making the ask.
