Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a list of teacher-generated and teacher-validated non-salary incentives. The study was designed to identify and prioritize non-salary incentives for teachers on the basis of teacher preferences. Major steps in achieving the purpose of this study were: (1) to determine specific non-salary incentives which are desirable to teachers; (2) to determine which related incentives can be grouped in categories; (3) to determine which incentive represents top priority for the highest percent of respondents within each category; (4) to determine which incentives most frequently rank first disregarding categories; and (5) to determine if results differ significantly for sub-groups based on sex, race, years of experience, teaching level, or educational degree.
