How best to compensate teachers for their services sits near the top of any education policy agenda year after year. While base salaries remain at the heart of any discussion of teacher pay, an effective policy discussion of teacher compensation goes far beyond just salaries. It involves increasingly diverse avenues of compensation that include one-time or sustained incentives, retirement packages, benefits and more.

This ECS Issue Site includes links to What States Are Doing, Selected Research and Readings, Programs and Practices and Other Web Sites intended to inform policy and practice regarding teacher compensation across the states.
