Teachers will support performance-pay plans that advance student achievement and the teaching profession, says a first-of-its-kind report written by a diverse group of expert teachers from across the United States.
The new TeacherSolutions 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.
