  5. What is wrong with the current system? • Traditional pay systems do not reward educators for results. • Traditional compensation programs that pay extra for degrees, credits and professional development do not necessarily result in improvements in student achievement. • Providing compensation based on tenure restricts the ability of a district to use compensation to attract and retain talent.

  6. Early and mid-career teachers are over 10x more likely to leave the district than late career teachers, yet the lion’s share of compensation is focused on late career teachers. Source: Denver Public Schools 6

  7. How can pay for performance help? • Pay forperformance can be an important lever in • improving teacher effectiveness. • Linking educator pay to student performance can • attract, motivate, reward and retain the most • effective teachers. • By rewarding and retaining the most effective teachers, we can accelerate the improvement in student achievement even more.

  8. Are teachers really motivated by M O N E Y? • “Compensation” and recognition for a job well done comes in many forms, and not all of them are green. • Compensation policies impact employee behaviors, practices and expectations, and have a direct connection to the norms and culture of those organizations. • A new generation of teachers are interested in tying a portion of their compensation to quantifiable results. • P4P has the potential to transform the K-12 education labor market. • A number of pioneering school systems and teacher unions are leading the way – and their teachers are embracing pay for results in significant numbers.
