This important book translates evidence and examines policy,
proposing a plan to save America's schools by rewarding teachers
with professional-level salaries distributed wisely. Profit of
Education makes it clear that rethinking the teaching profession is
the key to repairing America's broken-down education system and
securing our nation's future. Accomplishing that, author Dick
Startz says, requires lifting teacher pay to professional levels
and rewarding teachers for student success, with the goal of
improving student learning by the equivalent of one extra year of
schooling. Profit of Education takes the reader on a
chapter-by-chapter walk through the evidence on pay-oriented,
teacher-centric reform of the public school system, showing that
such an approach can work. Startz translates the extensive
scientific evidence on school reform into easily understood terms,
demonstrating the enormous difference teachers make in student
outcomes. Proposed levels of teacher salaries are established, and
the difficult issue of differential pay is examined in depth, as
are many of the practical and political issues involved in
measuring teacher success. Last, but hardly least, Startz shows how
teacher-centric school reform will pay off for the taxpayer and the
economy.
