For your next post, have you thought about writing more about the management of faculty techniques and also the ways that teacher pay out is attached to performance?

Not sure if you remember but we spent a little time together back when I worked in Michigan and before I came to PDK. Barnett Berry speaks very highly of you and your commitment to teaching and teachers.

Actually, our polling data confirms that Americans believe teachers are underpaid. Quick caveat, that’s national polling data so it would not apply equally in all states.

The issue that has arisen quite suddenly and that will need to addressed is the standard scale approach that we follow in paying teachers, i.e., teacher salaries based only on seniority and advanced degrees. Unfortunately, addressing this will be a challenging issue.

Currently, the rhetoric centers on performance pay, but here again, Americans, at least as indicated in our polling data, recognize that judging and paying teachers based upon student achievement tests is not the ultimate solution.

Nevertheless, I stand by my lead statement that Americans love their teachers. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

They just don’t want to pay for their expertise. Here’s another take, from the National Day of Blogging for Education Reform:
