Union County Supt. Andrew Houlihan says that if NC really wants to make a difference in teacher compensation it should raise the starting salary to $70,000. He says if state want to use merit pay it should be done as a bonus & not as base pay. #nced #ncpol #EggsandIssues23

It’s so exhausting how policy advocacy work in North Carolina is usually not even about fighting to make things better but more about fighting against policies that would make it worse. #nced #ncpol

With all due respect to Eckel and Vaughan's marketing advice here, lowering the bar so that anyone who can pass some online quizzes can become a teacher is not a "student first model"--it's a recipe for disaster. #nced #ncpol

A member of the Human Capital Roundtable privately blasted the NC teacher merit pay proposal in an email to a colleague last year, pointing out numerous flaws with the plan and calling it “undercooked goulash” notesfromthechalkboard.com/2022/11/23/hum… #nced #ncpol #PathwaysToExodus

It’s been so disappointing to see a handful of former teachers who should know better helping grease the wheels for the NC teacher merit pay proposal, from its inception with the Human Capital Roundtable to the upcoming Eckel and Vaughan marketing campaign. #nced #ncpol

We don't have a teacher shortage. We have a shortage of people who are willing to be underpaid, overworked & disrespected while doing the world's most important job. And our decision makers just keep making it worse... notesfromthechalkboard.com/2022/11/11/ini… #nced #ncpol #PathwaysToExodus

Truitt’s Pathways to Excellence merit pay proposal isn’t thoughtful or strategic. It won’t improve teacher recruitment (although it will make it much easier for unqualified teachers to enter classrooms) and it will degrade the professional experience of NC teachers. #nced #ncpol

Here’s the breakdown from yesterday’s vote to advance a merit pay model for all North Carolina teachers. What do you notice? 🧐 What do you wonder? 🤔 #nced #ncpol #PathwaystoExodus
