Compensation for Regular Classroom Teachers: State and Territorial Provisions.

The article discusses the compensation of regular classroom teachers in the U.S. Public Law 94-142 (The Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975) allows the use of support materials for handicap students in regular classes. This leaves regular teachers with more workload. A questionnaire was distributed to state administrators in 50 states. The result showed that there are few programs that are implemented or are in the planning stage regarding the compensation of regular teachers. The Office of Education decides on how funds would be used for statutory provisions.
