Abstract

Merit Pay for Teachers
Gragg, W. L. | June 13, 1959 issue

add to cart   close window

It is possible that opposition to merit pay for teachers has been made a dogma of American education. Unfortunately, most of the literature in support of merit pay has been written by people outside the teaching profession. In Scarsdale, New York, a merit-pay plan permits a teacher with four years of training to go to $9,000. Comparable salaries are obtained in Barrington and Glencoe, Illinois, in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Ladue, Missouri, and West Hartford, Connecticut, all of which follow variations of the incentive-pay idea.
