New CED Report Focuses on Teacher Pay, Pensions, and Reform Proposals
 |
| Joel Klein, Chancellor, New York City Public Schools |
Reforms are needed in the way American public school teachers are paid to ensure that schools are able to meet the demands for raising student achievement. That is a core conclusion of Teacher Compensation and Teacher Quality, a new report from CED. Schools must attract and retain high-quality teachers, the report states, but "traditional compensation policies for teachers are out of sync with the objective of expanding the pool of talented individuals who are willing to teach."
