Excellence In Teaching Deserves Merit Raises
In addressing how to reward teaching excellence, the piece argues for merit raises but notes flaws in current systems that rely on longevity pay, advanced degrees, or administrative moves. It suggests workable options like teaching teams and master teacher plans, with devices like closed circuit lectures and coordinated demonstrations to showcase excellence while tying rewards to merit. It also urges aligning pay with other professions to attract and retain top teachers, plus a local note about a mother’s subtraction question to illustrate classroom challenges.
