[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how does eligibility depend on teachers' ability to increases students' grades?

The DCPS website talks about IMPACTplus and LIFT at the links below. Bonuses appear to be tied to having a highly effective rating and working in high-poverty schools. Is a highly effective rating based in part on increase in student grades?

It would be helpful if you could link to a document outlining the relationship between students' grades and teacher IMPACT bonuses. [/quote]
 
It varies greatly by position: https://dcps.dc.gov/publication/2017-2018-impact-guidebooks

In my ES, part of our evaluation"TAS" is based on a data point decided upon by the principal. It could be reading levels, math scores, etc. It would be easy to falsify this data or misrepresent student progress. Having had students from other schools I can say reading levels are regularly inflated by large amounts. [/quote]
