This important book translates evidence and examines policy, proposing a plan to save America's schools by rewarding teachers with professional-level salaries distributed wisely.

The best book I have read in the past year. . . . Someone sent me a
note suggesting I read a draft, and I begrudgingly agreed, only to
be blown away by its content. It does an amazing job, making a
well-articulated and -supported argument for why some teachers need
to make a lot more money. He pulls together some research you've
likely seen, but also some you probably haven't—and I've
subsequently borrowed a lot of it for my own presentations. Put
Profit of Education on your 2011 book list.
