[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a crazy idea. Forget about paying for degrees and pay people based on performance! I know it's crazy, right?[/quote]

Then you would have an even bigger problem since nobody would want to work in high poverty schools.[/quote]

Oh that's so silly. You simply measure the teacher's impact before and after as compared to similar cohorts same with wealthy schools. [/quote]

Agree this isn't an especially hard problem to solve, and although I'm generally pro-union, this is one place where they'd never let this happen.[/quote]

Because you can’t accurately measure a teacher’s impact. Too many variables between students and each class. You would be comparing apples to oranges. Teacher A has 50 kids in a class, 20 of them with IEPs and they are on the same evaluation system as a teacher with 17 kids in a class with only 8 of them with IEPs AND a para and co-teacher?  Hell no[/quote]

I work in a field where performance cannot be measured quantitatively. So my boss subjectively decides who gets promotions, which are really just pay increases in my office (not an increase in responsibilities). Promotions are not automatic. This is normal. And though I started out making less than an entry-level teacher, 10 years in I make around what a 12-month +60 teacher with 25 years experience makes. This is possible because I have proven myself and my boss is in a position to reward that. Is there nobody in schools in a position to assess performance, which as you note, has to be subjective?[/quote]
