Abstract

The teacher's job can be evaluated in terms of standard measures to aid management in efficiently allocating its resources. This article describes methods of quantifying teaching elements that avoid value judgments insofar as is possible. The job evaluations are position-oriented, not person-oriented, and the results are translated into monetary terms based on the present scale or on a comparative salary survey. This standardized approach to teacher pay enables a school district to implement its priorities within its compensation plan.
