Teacher Pay for Performance
from Books Shows Tunes & Mad Acts Hosted by Jennifer Crittenden
University of Virginia professor and director of EdPolicyWorks Jim Wycoff joins us to discuss efforts to tie teacher pay to performance. Following on research about teacher effectiveness, especially in low-performing schools, Jim reviews programs in New York and Washington DC that emphasized teacher evaluation and rewarded high performance with significant financial compensation. He explains how some of those lessons learned, including discussions with teacher unions, can be transported to other districts and reviews what factors contributed to their success (some may surprise you!). Some valuable takeaways here for policy makers and parents in this accessible and uplifting episode.
