Unfortunately, too many North Carolina students are deprived of that access because of a leaky teacher pipeline that fails to recruit, support, and retain enough high-quality educators for our public schools. One key contributor to this leaky pipeline is the outdated way we pay teachers.
The good news is that North Carolina is at the forefront of a national movement to change how teachers are paid, with programs like Advanced Teaching Roles and strategies like Front-Loaded Pay. But there’s only so much that strategic investments can help when the salary structure that they’re layered on is so outdated. During the 2023 North Carolina Education Innovation Lab, stakeholders from across the state examined the past, present, and reimagined future of teacher compensation in our state, diving deep into recommendations from BEST NC’s recent report Teacher Pay in North Carolina: A Smart Investment in Student Achievement.
Find everything from the Lab, including recordings and pictures of the day’s panels and presentations, downloadable slide decks, and additional resources to help you continue your work long after the Innovation Lab has ended.
