High-quality teachers play a significant role in improving student achievement. Compensation is a critical element in attracting and retaining highly-skilled teachers for every classroom. This ERS publication addresses the issue of the impact of teacher compensation and will help you understand the factors that influence teacher compensation--now and in the future. It discusses teacher compensation from an economic perspective and includes examples of state and district efforts to use teacher compensation to attract and retain high-quality teachers. With the requirements of No Child Left Behind, learning how compensation influences teacher quality is essential.
