Merit Pay for Teachers: Not a Pipe Dream
One of the best things that could happen to schooling is for teachers to be paid according to their worth--merit pay. One school district in Colorado uses some form of merit pay. Or at least that's what they say they are doing, though it looks a lot like the old "pay for credentials" routine. But at least they're talking the talk, showing that the proposal has some traction.
