A Statewide Decentralized Approach to Public School Reform: The Case of Career Ladders in Utah.

Malen, Betty; Murphy, Michael J.

Journal of Education Finance, v11 n2 p261-77 Fall 1985

In 1984, the Utah legislature enacted a career ladder bill encouraging all local districts to develop plans for restructuring teachers' compensation and promotion options. An independent, bipartisan taskforce then created a statewide, decentralized model that increases educators' power, minimizes merit and staff differentiation, and fosters acceptance. Includes 39 references. (MLH)
