| FORMAT: pdf | Performance-Pay for Teachers: Designing a System that Students Deserve | AUTHOR: Teacher Solutions |
|
This is a first-of-its-kind report written by a diverse group of expert teachers from across the United States. This new Teacher Solutions study proposes radical changes in the way teachers have traditionally been compensated, including:
*Rewarding small teams of teachers who raise student achievement together;
* Rewarding teachers who accept challenging assignments in high-needs schools and strengthen connections between school and community; and
*Redesigning pay systems so that teacher success, not seniority or graduate degrees, determines maximum teacher pay.
The report proposes a comprehensive new framework for teacher compensation, where base pay would still be tied to level of experience but where teachers could earn more through a variety of incentives as they progress from novice to expert. The incentives would be tied to student progress, professional improvement, school and community leadership, and collaborative work, including mentoring and coaching, that extends teacher expertise beyond a single classroom.
