TNLI: Cases: Do You Lose When You Choose?

This case visits a school as teachers decide whether or not to trade tenure for pay bonuses.  What factors do teachers way in making this choice? And what are the potential consequences of this choice?

Discussion Questions

  1. How might having teachers within the same school with different rights/benefits affect the culture of the school and the work environment?
  2. What might school systems lose/gain by altering the current teacher-pay system?
  3. How does giving up tenure make teachers vulnerable? In what ways do teachers miss out if they don’t give up tenure?
