Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This study explored the perceptions of implementing a merit pay plan as reported by elementary teachers in three rural Georgia school districts, one of which was participating in the Race to the Top (RT3) initiative. The study examined the perceptions of 109 elementary teachers in regard to merit pay implementation, models of merit pay, factors worthy of reward, and the impact that perceptions of school culture has on attitudes towards merit pay. The study employed a descriptive survey approach to address the research questions. An amended version of the Teacher Survey on Performance Pay was employed to explore the perceptions of participants. The majority of responding teachers worked in the RT3 district. Respondents were not in favor of the implementation of a merit pay plan and preferred raising the base salary of teachers. The majority of respondents did not favor the presented models of merit pay, although a school-based plan received a higher response of agreement than the others. Respondents indicated that a variety of factors beyond student achievement and teacher evaluations needed to be considered when awarding merit pay and reported unfavorable feelings toward Georgia's proposed formula. Concerns regarding factors impacting student achievement were expressed, along with frequent concerns for teachers of EIP and inclusion classes and how emphasis on student achievement may impact these areas. Results also indicated that perceptions of school culture have no impact on attitudes towards merit pay. Respondents reported positive views of school culture, yet were not in favor of merit pay implementation. Concerns arose regarding potential negative implications that merit pay may hold for school culture, such as decreased collaboration and increased competitive feelings. Based on comparisons, overall responses from the RT3 district were similar to those of the other two districts who were not RT3 participants. Neither district type was in favor of merit pay. The results of the study indicated an overall negative view of merit pay by teachers, with the destruction of the schools' collaborative cultures being one of the top concerns. Such feelings may be resolved if teachers are active participants when creating a merit pay plan.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the study is to show the various perceptions teachers have on merit pay. This research was designed to examine the perceptions and attitudes of teachers towards the idea of performance based pay. This topic has been an ongoing battle within school systems since the 1800s. The participants in this study were teachers from the state of Indiana. An internet search was done to find similar public school corporations in Indiana that had already implemented merit pay systems or were planning on establishing a pay scale system based on performance. Approximately 250 teachers from four school corporations were invited to complete the survey. Out of those invited, 42 teachers completed the survey, producing a response rate of 16.8%. Of the 42 teachers who participated in the survey, 25 teachers (59.5%) were not in schools with merit pay, while 17 teachers (40.5%) were in a system that used merit pay. Results indicated that there are significant differences to the questions regarding higher pay for better performance. To all other questions there are no significant differences noted. An overwhelming number of participants strongly disagreed with the concept of merit pay, arguing that teachers work to the best of their ability while seeking to sharpen the craft of teaching and additional pay will do little to enhance student achievement.

Download or read book Performance Pay for Teachers written by Edward Conrad Wragg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first widespread incentive pay scheme was initiated in UK schools in 2000. This book is the result of monitoring the whole process from its inception. The authors visited schools, observed lessons, and solicited the views and experiences of a large collection of teachers and headteachers. Their discoveries are presented in this lively book. They include the views of teachers who were successful in crossing the threshold, those who weren't and those who chose not to apply, and headteachers who had to make the decisions. The book focuses on the following schemes: * headteachers' experiences of training * the outcomes in their own school * their relationship with external assessors * their hopes and fears for the future * their assessment of the influence on classroom practice * what did teachers change and not change in their teaching as a result of performance management * what means they employed to further their own professional development. This timely book is a useful resource for anyone involved in education, whether it be a classroom teacher, headteacher, administrator or policy-maker.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation determined the perceived association of merit pay and teacher qualities in the sample schools. The research focused on the association of merit pay and levels of teacher qualities and if a relationship exists between teacher performance-based compensation and teacher qualities/performance. -- The indications and suggestions of this research were based on the data collected from surveys and interviews of teachers in the two sample schools on performance pay plans. This component of the study identified any perceived association of merit pay and teacher qualities. This information was corroborated with research collected on studies done on school systems that have adopted merit pay plans. Information was obtained from multi-question surveys from middle school teachers, open-ended questions, and interviews. -- The results of this research indicated that there was a perceived association of merit pay and teacher qualities in these two sample middle schools. This association may lead to increased teacher efficacy and, ultimately, increased student achievement.
