Your source for current events impacting the Commission on Teacher Credentialing...... Authored & Published by:
Bruce Kitchen, CCTC/School District Liaison San Bernardino & San Diego Counties TEACHER INCENTIVE PAY CONCEPTS THAT MIGHT WORK The Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) group recently issued a "Policy Brief" that outlined a number of familiar problems facing education in California. The 7 page report identified several of our states shortcomings (including bottom rankings for teachers, administrators, counselors & librarians per student) and unique challenges then elaborated on a half dozen areas that could bring about improvement. There will be no attempt here to summarize the policy brief (interested people can easily review it at the link below). What is of special interest, and worthy of specific review, is their Recommendation #4 Developing a Professional Pay System. Negotiations required? You bet! That is why you may find the three systems that are highlighted on page 6 something more than a curiosity. All three identify heavy union involvement: a) ProComp in Denver b) TRACS in Toledo and c) The New York City Plan. The intent of each structure is to attract and retain high-quality teachers in challenging schools, promote improved student achievement, and provide additional dollars to teachers who assume new and expanded responsibilities.
