Beskrivelse
Why recognition programs are more meaningful and accepted by excellent teachers versus merit pay plans is the theme of this new book by author Dr Hans Andrews who is a former Vice President of Instruction of Illinois Valley Community College.
Andrews points out, that research has found merit pay plans to fail and be withdrawn almost universally over the past 25-30 years. His research also found only 50 percent of the K-12 schools and less than 50 percent of the community colleges in the U.S. have instituted any type of recognition for their best teachers.
Andrews feels this book will help provide a stimulus for school boards and/or college trustees, school administrators, teachers and parent to look at introducing a much expanded teacher recognition program. He goes on to say,
• The majority of recognition programs existing today only make one award a year no matter what the number of teachers there are in a K-12 school or college
• Recognition vs. Merit Pay provides numerous examples of how recognition is meeting the intrinsic needs of teachers around the U.S. and the rest of the world.
• Every exceptional teacher should receive a special ‘thank you’ from their boards and administrators. Teachers, administrators and governing boards need to work together to make this happen.
• Board members and parents will find this book provides a major pathway to improving teacher morale and student outcomes.
