It's not hard to believe that the average teacher is paid about what they're worth.
The more important question is whether the pay is competitive to attract teachers of sufficient quality.
- tokenadult 15y agoThere is an interesting proposal to get more teachers of better quality for American schools. http://edpro.stanford.edu/hanushek/files_det.asp?FileId=258 http://edpro.stanford.edu/hanushek/files_det.asp?FileId=258 http://edpro.stanford.edu/hanushek/admin/pages/files/uploads/Hanushek%202009%20CNTP%20ch%208.pdf http://edpro.stanford.edu/hanushek/admin/pages/files/uploads... The proposal considers issues of pay, but crucially it also considers issues of other working conditions, including the issue of whether working teachers who do better quality work than other teachers are recognized for that achievement.
- aik 15y agoVery interesting -- thanks for the reference! Will read through it this evening. I sincerely hope it proposes good methods of improving teachers, ones other than the horribly flawed method of judging teachers based on student test scores.
