Rep. Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke, presides over House Select Committee on Education Strategy and Practices Wednesday (Photo Credit/Alex Granados)

The House Select Committee on Education Strategy and Practices met yesterday to talk teacher pay and solicit input from some of the state’s education leaders and researchers.

Teacher pay is likely to be a big issue in the upcoming short session of the General Assembly, so the feedback legislators receive now could have a big impact.

Below you will find the name of each speaker, a link to documents from their presentations, and a video of their talks before the committee.

State Superintendent June Atkinson

Presentation to House Committee

During her talk, Atkinson called for a 10 percent pay increase for teachers. This is the diagram of the “wedding cake” strategy for teacher compensation she discusses in her presentation:
