This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current policy push in America is an intense focus on teacher effectiveness. Often, legislators and business leaders assume that merit pay in education is a means to improve teacher performance despite the fact that it has never worked and is debunked by the research. In his book Superintendent and Teacher Perceptions of Performance Based Pay, Dr. Moyer examines the concepts of knowledge and skills and group performance based pay from the perspective of Illinois school superintendents and teacher association presidents to determine the extent to which these compensation systems might be a viable alternative to the single salary schedule. The book traces the history of teacher compensation, examines the role teacher motivation plays, includes lessons from districts that were early implementers, provides a detailed analysis of the research, and yields several surprising insights, including the finding that superintendents and association presidents actually agree on several major concepts that could make moving to alternative compensation systems much more feasible than might be assumed.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outcry for exploring knowledge and skills-based salary structures hinges on the ideology of teaching students to higher standards or outcome-based education. It also pays heed to the attraction and retention of a highly qualified teaching staff as legislated by No Child Left Behind Act. The educational system demands a vehicle adorned by excellence in educational methodology, knowledge, and subsequent skills and performance. The globalization of the economy and knowledge itself are restructuring business as well as the educational arena. Some of the areas, which appear to demand improvement to survive in this information-based society, include decentralization, focusing on team members, salary schedules, and measurable outcomes or performance. Proponents of knowledge and skills-based teacher compensation systems commonly believe that pay should be determined by teacher knowledge and performance specific to the subject or subjects being taught as well as the standards subscribed to; not just the years of teaching in a system or the units and degrees collected in education. Many of the alternative compensation models currently embraced employ both individual incentives and group incentives, emphasizing team based leadership and management as well as skills and knowledge directly tied to teaching content and pedagogy. This study investigates the impact of alternative teacher compensation systems, specifically knowledge and skills-based pay, and teacher perception.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a renewed interest by local, state, and federal entities in teacher pay for performance programs. Billions of federal dollars have been given to states and school districts to develop programs to reward high-quality teachers based on student academic achievement test scores. Despite mixed-outcomes in data in the current literature, districts continue to develop and implement teacher pay for performance plans. School superintendents’ voices have been absent from the current discourse in the pay for performance literature. School superintendents are uniquely situated to provide valuable insight of their perceptions of teacher pay for performance programs they have implemented in their respective districts. This study was approached from a qualitative, phenomenological lens used to describe superintendent perceptions of teacher pay for performance programs. The research conducted attempted to answer the following questions: 1. How do superintendents perceive teacher pay for performance programs in their districts? 2. How have superintendents’ perceptions changed throughout the pay for performance program implementation? 3. How do superintendents determine the success of teacher pay for performance programs in their districts? 4. For superintendents, what is the essence of experiencing a pay for performance program? This study followed a qualitative, phenomenological research to gain an understanding of the perceptions of participants who all experienced the same phenomenon (Creswell, 2013), in this case, leading a school district that has adopted a pay for performance structure designed to recruit and retain teachers. Interviews with superintendents who had participated in the implementation of a district teacher pay for performance program were the primary data sources. Analysis included open coding procedures using qualitative data analysis software. Documents and member checks were used to triangulate data. Findings from this study could be used by school districts that might be contemplating implementing pay for performance programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of a performance-based pay initiative and crystalizes the design issues and implementation challenges that confounded efforts to translate this promising policy into practice. This story has much to say to academics and policymakers who are trying to figure out the combinations of incentives and the full range of resources required to establish incentive programs that promote an adequate supply and equitable distribution of capable and committed educators for our public schools. The book uncovers the conditions that appear to be necessary, if not fully sufficient, for performance-based initiatives to have a chance to realize their ambitious aims and the research that is required to guide policy development. In so doing, the authors consider the thorny question of whether performance-based pay systems for educators are worth the investment. Book Features: Examines the use of educator compensation reform as a tool to improve human capital in chronically low-performing schools. Analyzes how a theoretically promising incentive program actually plays out in schools. Documents policy implementation and its impacts through the experiences and voices of teachers and school administrators. Concludes with clear and actionable recommendations for policy and research.
