| Abstract | Utah's involvement with career ladders grew out of the nationwide educational reform movement. The plan was to improve learning by improving the quality of teachers. This could be done by retaining superior teachers, attracting higher quality recruits, and improving teachers' working conditions. In 1984 the Utah Legislature focused on performance-based merit pay and passed a bill authorizing $15,258,937 for district level career ladder plans. This paper studies four districts implementing such plans. Content analysis, on-site visits, interviews, and questionnaires were used to investigate factors influencing teacher acceptance of career ladder systems. Findings revealed teacher involvement, effective communication channels, administration involvement and support, and plan flexibility as positively related to teacher acceptance. Complexity, restrictive eligibility quotas, and increased responsibilities outside the classroom negatively affected teacher acceptance. Recommendations included provision of inservice information sessions explaining issues and options and exploration of smaller-scale, decentralized career ladder systems. Included are 2 tables, 23 references, and 2 appendices made up of the pilot school questionnaire and responses. (MLH) |
