School districts have the responsibility to design a compensation structure that maximizes their ability to meet teacher recruitment and retention goals within the context of long-term fiscal sustainability. We have created this Teacher Compensation Workshop to help leaders bring together practitioners and policymakers in a district to explore the costs and implications of different compensation structures. This package includes materials and instructions for a productive and informative meeting.

This workshop will soon be available for purchase. Please contact us for more information. ERS would like to thank the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for providing funding for this project, and TeachPlus for running the pilot workshop.

Workshop Goals

• Deepen understanding of how salary structures affect a district’s ability to achieve compensation goals. 
• Build understanding about the fiscal impact associated with various salary structures.
• Approach compensation redesign as a series of trade-offs required to maximize compensation goals within the context of long-term fiscal sustainability.
