Empower students by investing in teachers
We stand alone as the only US public charity created to enhance student outcomes by increasing teacher compensation. Studies show that supporting teachers financially has a profound impact on student outcomes!
Quick facts
These facts demonstrate exactly what our mission is all about!
Higher pay = higher achievement
Countries with higher average salaries for experienced teachers are more likely to have higher national achievement.
10% pay increase = 3-4% fewer dropouts
Researchers have demonstrated that higher teacher pay helps reduce student dropout rates over time.
Pay raises work in both math and English
Both math and English test scores are significantly higher in districts that offer higher base salaries to teachers.
