VIRGINIA PROPOSAL TO PAY MORE TO TOP TEACHERS AT NEEDY SCHOOLS

The nation's schools need to find new ways to pair the best teachers with
troubled schools -- including paying teachers for performance rather than
experience alone, Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner (D) told a national
gathering of educators yesterday. Speaking at an education forum in
Washington sponsored by the Milken Family Foundation, Warner said
low-income children too often have the least qualified teachers, a
situation he termed a "national embarrassment," reports Rosalind
Helderman. Warner called for a comprehensive strategy in Virginia to
attract proven teachers to difficult classrooms by paying bonuses and
basing salaries on students' success, among other things. "I believe that
a nation that has planted its flag on the moon and is now sending robotic
scouts to Mars can figure out how to get good teachers into the schools
that need them the most," he said.
