Teacher Quality

Interesting Issues Idaho is considering

• Teacher merit pay for performance
• Teacher professional development

Current 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
