Explore options for designing a more strategic teacher compensation system within your existing district budget.
Set the baseline to approximate the conditions of your district that you will use to compare against a new effectiveness steps or career path strategy.
Transition from steps based only on experience to steps based on effectiveness—as defined by the district—while investing in teacher roles and contribution.
Design a system that strengthens school leadership, accelerates learning, and enriches teaching career paths, with opportunities for increasing the contributions of school leaders and teachers as they progress through their careers.
Teacher compensation systems vary widely among districts and can be complex to manage strategically. Our Teacher Compensation Calculator can help. Designed for districts with a traditional step-and-lane salary schedule, it provides insight into the big “buckets” of teacher compensation—pay for starting salary, experience, education, roles and contribution, effectiveness—enabling you to compare different compensation strategies: the current baseline and approaches based on effectiveness steps and career pathways.
Use the Teacher Compensation Calculator to begin envisioning a system that can attract, retain, and leverage the skills of a highly effective teaching force as you move from traditional, rigid compensation systems to strategies that foster growth, reward teachers' contributions, and support a broader strategy to reimagine the teaching job.
