  • In 2016, Dallas Independent School District revolutionized teacher pay by introducing a groundbreaking system that rewards effectiveness and incentivizes top educators to teach in underperforming schools. The results were extraordinary and emphasize the transformative power of attracting and retaining high-quality teachers. This innovative approach to teacher compensation offers a promising path forward for school districts nationwide, ensuring that excellent educators receive the recognition they deserve while providing students with the top-tier education they need to succeed.

    I’m sure the unions will be 100% on board !

    They work eight months a year. Also give the ability of local communities to fire bad teachers and remove disruptive children from the classroom.

    I was in the room when Hoover-Inst. Director Dr Rice told a roomful of teachers how valuable we were “regardless of oversimplified and easily fudged things like grades…”

    There’s one major obstacle to ever implementing this: teachers’ unions 🤬 They don’t care if kids’ lives are ruined, they only care about protecting their pay and benefits without having to be graded on their own performance.

    In fairness, 20-ish students from a single year can be a small sample size, and any metric of teacher effectiveness will be flawed, as well as potentially creating "teaching to the test" issues. If you pay people for X, you'll get more X, but you have to temper this with the knowledge that X is usually at least a partially flawed metric for Y, which is what you're actually after.
    That said, moderately perverse pay incentives can be better than no pay incentives. I'd probably lean towards a pilot program of "up to 25% base pay as a bonus, dependent on whether your students are high-performing or at least show major improvement through the year".

    They shouldn't have a job if the majority of the students aren't learning the basics, history, math, and English, according to testing by outside sources.

      I used to be a middle school teacher. Let me tell you this, no matter what I tried, most of my students were failing my class. My class wasn't even hard, they had to do ONE homework assignment per week (usually just watch a small 5-10 minute RUclips video about whatever topic we were discussing and then answer 5 questions about it), they had to do one to two quizzes per week about the lesson (WHICH I WOULD GIVE THEM THE ANSWERS TO THROUGHOUT THE WEEK), and the eventual class project (WHICH I GAVE THEM TIME TO COMPLETE DURING CLASS). The result? Most students would waste their entire class time and not do the projects, most students would not bother to read the notes so that they could Ace the 5 question quiz, and most students would not watch the damn 5-10 minute video (PER WEEK) unless I gave them time to do it in class...
      I quit teaching, this generation is just too lazy and entitled. The parents are also terrible. Whenever a student has problems, most parents side with the child(ren) and it becomes the teacher's "fault" that their child is failing. Administration does the same thing, "Oh, too many students are failing your class? Give them more opportunities! If they want to hand in an assignment a month after it was due, then grade it anyway! Too many failed your quiz because no one cared to read the notes? Curve their grades!" No accountability, no consequences. Most people (adults and children alike) are lazy by nature, schools are competing with social media, smartphones, laptops, games, and the ever-increasing lower attention span of children. Yet, blame the teachers if the students are not learning.

      How is paying on performance inconsistent with operation of a free market?

    That's nice. No sending my kids to school anyway to be raised by someone else's mother. But that's nice. - Also: FIRST!

    As long as Progressive Liberals are in charge of our schools (because they are overwhelmingly) we will have the worst educators. DEI and Affirmative Action have nearly ruined our country.

    TIMSS:

    Australia whups USA, no performance pay
    Turkey loses to USA, has performance pay
    Poland loses to USA, has performance pay
    Why doesn’t Hoover Inst. give this video’s producers pay which matches their work?

      The producers site a specific example in USA: how it worked and why it quit working.

      Look at 2 parent household student test scores. USA outperforms everyone.
