able learners, assistants for TOP
administrators, more sophis-
ticated" testing procedures and
q curriculum that would "chal-
lenge" students at every Level
of ability.

bachelors degrees should start
at $1,000 per year and be able
to earn $4,000 annually after
IL years. The present scale for
these teachers ranges from
$4,000 to $500 per year.
