Benchmarks 2000
Teacher Salaries and State Priorities for Education Quality -
A Vital Link
By Gale F. Gaines
|
 |
| Decisions about pay, rewards and professional opportunities largely will
determine whether states develop the dedicated, well-qualified teaching
force necessary to raise student achievement consistently. Competitive
salary increases - along with efforts to
address teacher shortages, recognize superior performance and provide
incentives for teachers to strengthen their professional skills -
can go a long way toward attracting and retaining the most qualified
teachers. This report - part of the Educational
Benchmarks 2000 series - examines SREB states’ accomplishments in
these areas, efforts that are under way and challenges that remain. |
