NEA Defines a 'Competitive Compensation Schedule'
In comments on a federal performance-pay initiative that's poised to expand, the National Education Association urged the Department of Education to require participating districts to prove that they've established a "competitive compensation schedule" before instituting a performance-bonus system.
I've always wondered what the union's vision of an ideal compensation schedule consists of, and this document essentially lays that out.
Apparently, the union feels that teachers' baseline salaries should be equivalent to those seen in other professions, or at least $40,000. No surprises there, since NEA continues to support salary schedules, and since the $40,000 figure has been a core part of the union's national salary initiative for some time.
But then I came across this line: A competitive salary advancement schedule means earning "significant" wage
