BENEFITS OF THE SINGLE SALARY SYSTEM
• Fairness: Equity for race and gender• Objectivity: Eliminates judgment about teacher
quality. • Ease of administration: Predictable funding
year-to-year, minimal administrative effort to supervise. • Collegiality: Avoid pay-based disgruntlement. • Higher Education: Emphasis on educational
credits causes teachers to focus on their own education and learning.
(WEAC, 2011)

NATIONAL REFORMS• A Nation At Risk, 1983• United States students performing well below their peers (Coates-
McBride & Kritsonis, 2008)• Report made recommendations on how to improve education• Improving talent pool• Improving knowledge of effective teaching practices
• Some districts explored alternate compensation (Podursky & Springer, 2007)
• American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and Race to the Top, 2009• Increase achievement• Close achievement gaps• Increase graduation rates• More rigorous standards• More robust data systems

WHY THE FOCUS ON TEACHERS?
There is a growing body of quantitative research that demonstrates a positive relationship between teacher abilities and student performance (Goldhaber, 2010) and some researchers conclude that “improving the quality of teachers is the key element to improving student performance” (Hanushek, 2008, 5).

CURRENT COMPENSATION
• Teachers operating under multiple systems• New Wisconsin requirements aren’t
represented• Create a waiting game for teachers wishing to
and deserving to advance• Growth is implied• Longevity• Credit attainment
• Limits what we value and reward

WHAT NEA HAS TO SAYNEA Supports a Professional Growth Model for Compensation that:• Rewards additional leadership and responsibility• Rewards knowledge and skills that improve teaching • Rewards practice that improves student learning
outcomes, based on evidence of student progress• Compensates teachers for contributions outside of
direct classroom teaching• Provides salary, professional growth opportunities,
and career earnings of comparably prepared professionals NEA.org

WHAT WE CAN TAKE AWAY
• Student learning can be quantified• Standardized test scores can be good feedback,
but need to be controlled for outside factors if used for high stakes decision-making• Effective teachers are a significant variable in
student learning and school improvement• Teacher learning and application impacts student
learning• Collaboration makes schools stronger and
increases student achievement• A system that creates competition is detrimental
to our schools

A NEW MODEL COULD
• Expand what we value• Eliminate teachers working in three separate
models of expectations• Compensation model focusing on credits
and longevity• State-wide model focusing on student and
professional growth• Licensure model focusing on professional
practice
