Educator Quality

Iowa's Teacher Quality initiatives are reshaping how teachers are compensated and supported. This effort responds to our goal of improving student learning, as well as the critical issues of looming teacher shortages in rural and urban Iowa and a declining comparability of Iowa teachers' salaries with those in other states.
