Arne Duncan

ED.gov


There should be a system in place to recruit, assign, and evaluate and compensate great veteran teachers. In addition, attract top students into the field, and make America more competitive. Duncan called for higher salaries to make teaching more competitive with other professions like medicine, law, and engineering. Duncan suggested that starting salaries of around $60,000 and top salaries approaching $150,000 would help change the economics and makeup of the profession but acknowledged the difficulty of finding more money when governments at every level are wrestling with debts and deficits.
