A Case for Merit Pay.
Hoerr, Thomas R.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n4 p326-27 Dec 1998
The teaching profession is harmed by its focus on college degrees and length of service; the public views teachers as semiprofessionals, with job security and summers off. Some private schools have developed teacher evaluation and merit pay systems focused on teacher performance, not longevity. Costs and benefits are discussed. (MLH)
