Dear Chicago Educator,
Thinking about a lane change? Here’s why it’s one of the smartest moves you can make, for both your salary and your future pension.

Take Angela’s journey as an example:

• Current Position: Master’s degree, Lane 2 Step 18 – $119,184 Total Earnings

• After One Lane Change (15 credits): Lane 3 Step 19 – $125,502 in 2026-27

• After Second Lane Change (15 more credits): Lane 4 Step 20 – $136,665 in 2027-28

Investment:

• Tuition per 3-credit course: $475 (discounted)

• Cost for 15 credits (1 lane change): $2,375

• Cost for 30 credits (2 lane changes): $4,750

Return on Investment:

• Immediate salary increase after two years: $17,481

• Total additional earnings over 14 more years: $244,734 – not including step increases or future contractual raises!

• Even better? Angela’s pension will be based on her final average salary at retirement, meaning these raises compound into her lifetime retirement income.

This isn’t just professional growth—it’s a long-term financial strategy.
