Title: Toward a Coherent Kentucky Teacher Career Ladder
Description: Numerous State experiments have demonstrated that reform of a teacher career ladder is difficult and should not be done lightly, because reform of any part of these systems requires reform or alignment of all elements of teacher compensation (Burns & Gardner, 2010; Cornett & Gaines 2002). We argue here that the difficulties of a comprehensive change in Kentucky’s existing teacher compensation system notwithstanding, we have sufficient reason to make such a change. The reasons for making a change at this time are: 

  1. The high and increasing cost of graduate education makes continuation of the existing step and lane system untenable. 
  2. Recent advances in what is known about teacher competencies imply a much more attractive approach to teacher compensation. 
  3. The results of teacher compensation experiments in other States provide considerable guidance both in avoiding known hazards, and identifying likely benefits, of teacher compensation policy options.
