TAP: Performance-based Compensation

Higher pay is granted for:
  • Excellent teacher performance, as judged by experts
  • Student achievement gains (Value-added)
  • Different functions/additional duties
Our model would support higher pay:
  • If the teacher's primary field is difficult to staff, or if the teacher is in a hard-to-staff school
  • For teacher training & relevant degrees (e.g. National Board Certification)
