[quote=Anonymous]Though it seems to be commonsense that you could base pay on student academic growth, there really are too many variables beyond a teacher's control.  Assume two teachers each have a new class where the students are somehow measured to have an average score of 445 on some assessment at the beginning of the year.

The first teacher has a class size of 33, there are 6 students with significant behavior issues who cause regular disruption and their administrator does nothing about it, the paraeducator is absent frequently and has no knowledge of the subject even when present, 8 students are absent frequently, the room's climate is always warm and muggy, the Promethean Board keeps freezing, and that teacher has to prep 4 courses every day.

The second teacher has a class size of 21, there is only a single behavior issue and the administrator does a great job addressing the disruption, the paraeducator is amazing, only 2 students have attendance issues, the climate and technology are fantastic, and that teacher has only 2 couses to prep each day.

If the first teacher's students make lesser gains, should the teacher be financially punished?[/quote]
