THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Teacher compensation is gaining renewed attention in state legislatures and school district offices as policymakers seek to attract and retain qualified individuals to teaching and also explore creative ways to promote higher educational and professional standards. This Digest examines various alternative methods of teacher compensation currently proposed or in practice in school districts around the country. WHAT IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR TEACHER COMPENSATION? The single salary schedule, which pays individual teachers on the basis of their years of experience and educational units or degrees, has been in place nationwide for at least 50 years (Odden 2000). Attempts to unseat the single salary schedule have largely foundered. The 1980s saw significant experimentation with merit-pay and career-ladder systems, which rewarded teachers financially based on performance reviews and their willingness to take on extra responsibilities. The seemingly subjective nature of administrator-led reviews created resentment among teachers and their unions and was "at odds with the team-based, collegial nature of well-functioning schools" (Odden). Odden asserts that virtually none of the merit-pay systems enacted prior to the 1990s survives today.

82. Advocates For Education Of Whitefish Bay, Inc., Wisconsin to thwart efforts to improve education in wisconsin? graduation eligibility based on alternative criteria, which would be developed as school district policy http://www.fairtest.org/arn/wisconsp1.html

Advocates for Education of Whitefish Bay, Inc. During the 1997 Legislative Session, Wisconsin enacted two laws that brought our state into the thick of the nationwide academic standards and assessment education reform initiative. First, the state required every school district to adopt academic standards and to administer a high school graduation test that every student must pass in order to receive a diploma. Second, the state prohibited school districts from promoting a student out of the fourth and eighth grades unless the student receives a passing score on the Wisconsin Student Assessment System ("WSAS") tests administered in each of those grades. What do these new laws mean for Wisconsin students, families and school districts? Here are some frequently asked questions about the standards and assessment initiative in Wisconsin. What are academic standards? Academic standards are clear written expectations of what every child should know and be able to do at specific grade levels. In Wisconsin, the standards were written for English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science at the 4th, 8th and 12th grade levels. The Wisconsin Model Academic Standards were written by educators, business people and parents from throughout Wisconsin serving on committees under the oversight of the Governor's Council on Model Academic Standards. What was the stated goal of this initiative?

83. Wisconsin Stories: School Days that the great state University of wisconsin should ever the occasion for recalling a school that drew require this information in an alternative format or http://www.wisconsinstories.org/2002season/school/index.cfm

Wisconsin has an international reputation as a leader in progressive education. "School Days" recalls some of the people who helped build that image, as well as one-room schools and a beloved Milwaukee institution. Hosts Tracy Will and Debbie Kmetz open the program outside the building that housed the nation's first kindergarten, started by German immigrants in Watertown. A Gutsy Woman Viewers see the story of Helen Parkhurst, whose international influence and innovative ideas put her in the national spotlight. After spending her early days in Durand, she went on to pioneer the Dalton Method of teaching and at one time was the supervisor of all Montessori teachers in the United States. Eventually, she branched out to radio and television with the program "A Child's World." Her ideas and career brought her plaudits from around the globe. Golden Rule Days The days of one-room schoolhouses are remembered, and a restored one-room school in Fitchburg is visited. Students and a teacher recall the days when different ages shared the same space and some 6,000 one-room schools taught children across rural Wisconsin. The landmark battle over University of Wisconsin professor Richard Ely and academic freedom on campus is detailed. Ely's critiques of the labor battles in the 1890s led to his being branded an anarchist in some quarters.

Adopting Fair Elections for Student Governments February 2003 Big Wins! Interest in fair elections systems for student elections around the country has been gaining momentum. More and more schools are using Instant Runoff Voting for single winner elections like student body president. And some schools have also added the Choice Voting method of full representation for their legislative elections. This has been evidenced by two recent victories at major U.S. universities. University of California at Davis On February 20, students at UCD voted 67%-33% to use choice voting for Associated Student Senate elections and IRV for presidential elections. The California Aggie reports on the change. Duke University Duke Student Government will elect their six executive committee members through instant runoff voting. After approving the system for this spring's elections, officials have since decided the ballot counting proceedures will not be ready until spring 2004. Read coverage of the change from The Chronicle Building on our Success To create a strong base to work from, we are currently compiling a list of Student Governments that engage in some kind of fair elections method. Below is a list of the schools we have found, and what system they use. The list is far from complete however, so please notify us at
