Pre-K Parity

Pre-K Parity

Teachers in state-funded pre-kindergarten programs across the nation are increasingly expected to earn a bachelor’s degree, similar to their peers teaching older children. Yet salaries and benefits remain consistently lower for pre-K teachers than for elementary school teachers. CSCCE conducts research and policy analysis about how cities and states are making efforts to move toward parity in compensation for pre-K teachers. See also Compensation.
