Document Number: 10353 The Sheepskin Effect and Student Achievement: De-emphasizing the Role of Master's Degrees in Teacher Compensation - This brief provides a state-by-state analysis of the nation’s investments in 'master’s bumps' whereby teachers with master’s degrees generally earn additional salary or stipends. The authors find that in just four years, the nation’s annual outlay for master’s bumps surged by 72 percent to $14.8 billion. This increase outstripped inflation many times over during the same time period. This brief dissects the nation’s sizeable investment in master’s bumps as a means of highlighting policy obstacles to a more differentiated compensation approach and provides recommendations to policymakers on steps to take toward smartly differentiated compensation for teachers.
