A nationwide interest in master-teacher plans has arisen
as a response to the general malaise in education, but
the viability of such plans depends on finding answers to
certain crucial problems. Some basic issues must be
addressed before master teachers can even be identified:
whether a heirarchy of teachers should be established, or
prior conditions be met for appointing master teachers,
or a maximum number of master teachers per district be
set. Master teachers have generally been recognized
through their superior knowledge of the subject, as well
as for their teaching skills and ability to command
respect. Tests can accurately determine a teacher's
knowledge of the subject area; teaching skills may be
measured against predetermined school objectives, with
professional teams judging teachers' performance; ability
to work with others (command respect) can be guaged by a
comprehensive file on teachers. The much-discussed
criteron of producing demonstrable results in students is
difficult to measure with public school populations, and
so should be suspended until it can be more accurately
and fairly measured. Once master teachers are identified,
local districts must consider contract provisions for
special roles in school programs and special
compensation. Moreover, school districts must cooperate
with government and university in funding and training
for master-teacher plans. (JW)
