Promising performance-pay ideas

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on September 25, 2007 - 05:48.

Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond argues that the best incentive pay plans will use multiple measures to evaluate teacher performance and create career ladders capable of supporting and rewarding all teachers. She recently gave high marks to a report by the TeacherSolutions team of 18 outstanding teachers titled "Performance-Pay for Teachers: Designing a System That Students Deserve." It proposes a nuanced approach to teacher compensation that respects the complexities of teachers' work and would promote teaching quality, collaboration and leadership. It deserves the attention of all teachers who are committed to building a true profession. You can find the report at the website of the Teacher Leaders Network.
