Interesting issues Idaho is considering

  • Teacher merit pay for performance
  • Teacher development

Five Broad Assumptions about teacher pay

  • The current "system" of compensating teachers is not working
  • We don't yet know specifically how to improve it
  • Reform will take money
  • Reform is politically contentious and complicated
  • Addressing this piece of reform is not a stand-alone solution to America's educational challenges
