"We need to increase the base salary of all teachers before we start talking about special arrangements for some teachers," said Mary Futrell, president of the 1.7 million-membe- r National Education Association. "All school children, not just some of them, deserve to have highly qualified and adequately compensated teachers." Futrell said in a recent interview with United Press International. Albert Shanker, head of the American Federation of Teachers, is pushing his own version of merit pay, a concept favored by the White House and traditionally opposed by teacher unions. 610,000-memb- Under Shanker's proposal, aired at an AFT conference on July 12, professional societies in such as math specific subjects and science would create specialty boards, similar to those in the medical profession. These would certify teachers as specialists after they pass rigorous exams and evaluation. They then could demand high pay, the medisame way cal specialists do. d Shanker argued that the tests would eliminate subjective evaluations by principals or administrators and remove a longtime complaint that merit pay is ripe for abuse and favoritism.

"Each day, it becomes more clear that we have reached the point where the very air we breathe may become a carrier of sickness and perhaps even death, and now it's time to step back and reassess the manner in which we discharge chemical toxins into the atmosphere." said Rep.

Although Shanker said of his plan, "You can call it merit pay," a union spokeswoman criticized Futrell for referring to the proposal as such. "It is a total misunderstanding or worse, a distortion, to call our proposal merit pay." said spokeswoman Bella Rosenberg. "It is an alternative to merit pay." She said. "We remain categorically opposed to traditional merit pay, but recognize the concern of the public when they advocate merit pay and the need to distinguish between better and worse people." In January. Shanker received national acclaim when he proposed a national exam for those interesting in entering teaching similar to tests given in other professions. Earlier this month, delegates to the NEA's annual convention, at Futrell's urging, reversed a longtime position and went on record in favor of state exams for not a national test as Shanker advocates. The NEA delegates also passed a vaguely worded resolution calling for establishment of a procedure to dismiss incompetent teachers. Shanker ridiculed the NEA measures as empty gestures at reform.
