Book excerpt: The Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) provides grants to support performance-based compensation systems for teachers and principals in high-need schools. The study measures the impact of pay-for-performance bonuses as part of a comprehensive compensation system within a large, multisite random assignment study design. The treatment schools were to fully implement their performance-based compensation system that included four required components. The control schools were to implement the same performance-based compensation system with one exception--the pay-for-performance bonus component was replaced with a one percent bonus paid to all educators regardless of performance. This first of four planned reports provides implementation information prior to educators receiving annual performance measure information or payouts. Fewer than half of all 2010 TIF districts reported implementing all four required program components, although 85 percent reported implementing at least three of the four. In a subset of 10 districts who participated in the random assignment study, educators' reporting of the program indicated most misunderstood the performance measures and the amount of pay-for-performance bonus that they were eligible for. Most educators were satisfied with their professional opportunities, school environment, and the TIF program. Educators in those schools that offered the pay-for-performance aspect of TIF tended to be less satisfied than those in schools that did not offer such bonuses. However, educators in schools offering pay-for-performance bonuses were more satisfied with the opportunity to earn additional pay, and a greater percentage indicated feeling increased pressure to perform due to the TIF program. Appendices include: (1) Supplementary Information on Study Sample and Design; (2) Survey Response Rates and Characteristics of Respondents; (3) Analytic Methods and Sensitivity Analyses; (4) Supplemental Findings on TIF Design and Implementation for Chapters III and IV; and (5) Supplementary Findings for Chapter V.

Book excerpt: Recent efforts to attract and retain effective educators and to improve teaching practices have focused on reforming evaluation and compensation systems for teachers and principals. In 2006, Congress established the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), which provides grants to support performance-based compensation systems for teachers and principals in high-need schools. This executive summary describes a study that focuses on performance-based compensation systems that were established under TIF grants awarded in 2010. It examines grantees' programs and implementation experiences and the impacts of pay-for-performance bonuses on educator effectiveness and student achievement. The full report, the second from the study, describes the programs and implementation experiences of all 2010 TIF grantees in the 2012-2013 school year, the second of four years of implementation for nearly all grantees. The report also provides detailed findings from a subset of 2010 TIF grantees, the evaluation districts, that participated in a random assignment study of the pay-for-performance component of TIF. For the ten evaluation districts that completed two years of TIF implementation, the report provides an in-depth analysis of TIF implementation and the impacts of pay-for-performance bonuses on educator and student outcomes after the first (2011-2012) and second (2012-2013) years.

The control schools were to implement the same performance-based compensation system with one exception--the pay-for-performance bonus component was replaced with a one percent bonus paid to all educators regardless of performance. This second report provides implementation and impact information. Ninety percent of all TIF districts in 2012-2013 reported implementing at least 3 of the 4 required components for teachers, and only about one-half (52 percent) reported implementing all four. This was a slight improvement from the first year of implementation. In a subset of 10 districts participating in the random assignment study, educators' understanding of key program components improved during the second year, but many teachers still did not understand that they were eligible for a bonus. The pay-for-performance bonus policy had small, positive impacts on students' reading achievement; impacts on students' math achievement were not statistically significant but similar in magnitude. Appended are: (1) Supplemental Information on Study Sample Design, Data, and Methods for Chapter II; (2) Supplemental Information on Analytic Methods for Chapter II; (3) Supplemental Findings on Programs and Experiences of All TIF Districts For Chapter III; (4) Supplemental Findings of TIF Implementation in Evaluation Districts for Chapter IV; (5) Supplemental Findings on Impacts Of Pay-For-Performance on Educators' Attitudes and Behaviors For Chapter V; (6) Supplemental Findings in Impacts of Pay-For-Performance on Educator Effectiveness and Student Achievement for Chapter VI; and (7) Supplemental Findings on Relationships between TIF Program Characteristics and the impacts of Pay-For Performance for Chapter VI.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that effective teachers are critical to raising student achievement. However, there is little evidence about the best ways to improve teacher effectiveness, or how schools that serve the students most in need can attract and retain effective teachers. Traditional salary schedules, which pay teachers based on their years of teaching experience and degree attainment, do not reward effective teaching or provide incentives for the most effective teachers to teach in high-need schools. In 2006, Congress established the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), which provides grants to support performance-based compensation systems for teachers and principals in high-need schools. This study focuses on performance-based compensation systems that were established under TIF grants awarded in 2010. It examines grantees' programs and implementation experiences and the impacts of pay-for-performance bonuses on educator effectiveness and student achievement. This report, the third from the study, describes the programs and implementation experiences of all 2010 TIF grantees in the 2013-014 school year, the third of four years of implementation for nearly all grantees. The main findings for all districts that received 2010 TIF grants include the following: (1) Overall implementation of TIF requirements among all 2010 TIF districts was very similar in the third year of implementation as in previous years; and (2) Few TIF districts in the third year reported that key activities related to implementation of their program were a major challenge, and districts were less likely to report major challenges in the third year than in the second year. This report also provides detailed findings from a subset of 2010 TIF grantees, the evaluation districts, that participated in a random assignment study of the pay-for-performance component of TIF. For the ten evaluation districts that completed three years of TIF implementation, the report provides an in-depth analysis of TIF implementation and the impacts of pay-for-performance bonuses on educator and student outcomes after the first (2011-2012), second (2012-2013), and third (2013- 2014) years. The main findings for the ten evaluation districts include the following: (1) Pay-for-performance had small, positive impacts on students' reading and math achievement; (2) Few evaluation districts structured pay-for-performance bonuses to align well with TIF grant guidance; and (3) Teachers' understanding of performance measures continued to improve between the second and third year of implementation, but many teachers still did not understand that they were eligible for a bonus or underestimated how much they could earn. The following are appended: (1) Supplemental Information on Study Sample, Design, Data, and Methods for Chapter II; (2) Supplemental Information on Analytic Methods for Chapter II; (3) Supplemental Findings on Programs and Experiences of All TIF Districts for Chapter III; (4) Supplemental Findings on TIF Implementation in Evaluation Districts for Chapter IV; (5) Supplemental Findings on Impacts of Pay-for-Performance on Educators' Attitudes and Behaviors for Chapter V; (6) Supplemental Findings on Impacts of Pay-for-Performance on Educator Effectiveness and Student Achievement for Chapter VI; and (7) Supplemental Findings on Factors Associated with Differences in Impacts for Chapter VI.

Book excerpt: Teacher Incentive Fund (US Department of Education Regulation) (ED) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Teacher Incentive Fund (US Department of Education Regulation) (ED) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Secretary of Education (Secretary) establishes priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria under the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) program. These priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria will be used in two separate and distinct TIF grant competitions: The Main TIF competition, which will provide TIF funding to eligible entities to support their implementation of a performance-based compensation system (PBCS) in accordance with the priorities, the Main TIF competition requirements, the definitions, and the selection criteria established in this document; and the TIF Evaluation competition, which will provide, in accordance with the priorities, the Main TIF competition requirements, the definitions, and the selection criteria, as well as the Evaluation requirements established in this document, TIF funding to help pay the costs of implementing the eligible entity's PBCS in exchange for an agreement to participate in the national evaluation. The Secretary may use these TIF priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria in fiscal year (FY) 2010 and subsequent years. We intend the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria announced in this document to help improve student achievement (as defined in this document) in high-need schools (as defined in this document) and provide incentives for effective teachers, principals, and other personnel (in those sites in which the grantee wishes to expand the PBCS to additional staff in its schools) in these schools to take on additional responsibilities and leadership roles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The body of research on the design, implementation, and effects of performance-based compensation systems has influenced the design and evaluation of the 2010 Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grants. In the sections presented here, the authors describe the key components of 2010 TIF grants and the conceptual framework for the evaluation. The remainder of this report describes the plans for the study design in greater detail. In Chapter II, the authors provide context for the 2010 TIF grants and describe the treatment and counterfactual conditions--that is, the conditions that would exist in the absence of the performance pay systems. In Chapter III, they discuss data collection, the sample for the evaluation, and how they will conduct random assignment. Finally, they explain the analysis plans in Chapter IV. (Contains 12 tables, 1 figure and 15 footnotes.) [This report was submitted to the Institute of Education Sciences.].

This book was released on 2016 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief outlines some simple methods that Teacher Incentive Fund grants could add to their local evaluations to find out how well they are promoting attainment of the four overall TIF goals. The methods described in this brief can help grantees determine if they are moving toward improving effectiveness, student achievement, and equity. Grantees can use simple comparisons over time and, in some cases, comparisons to external standards such as statewide or district-wide trends to see whether measures of the key TIF goals are at least moving in the right direction. Grantees can also use their TIF evaluations to collect information about whether the number of effective teachers teaching poor, minority, and disadvantaged students in hard-to-staff subjects has increased. Last, surveys, interviews, and focus groups done as part of TIF program evaluations provide an opportunity to assess the support of educators for sustaining performance-based compensation and other human capital management activities the TIF grant has supported. This information is also likely to be important when making a case for sustaining important elements of TIF and for deciding which elements should be priorities for sustainability efforts. Showing stakeholders how the TIF grant is achieving important goals not only adds to the knowledge base about performance-based compensation, but it also helps grantees build a case for sustaining important components of the TIF program.

Book excerpt: The Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) supports projects that are designed to reform teacher and principal compensation. Initially, the Department of Education (the Department) made two rounds of awards, in 2006 and 2007, to a total of 34 grantees. The specific goals of TIF were to reward teachers and principals for improving student achievement, increase the number of effective teachers and principals in hard-to-staff schools, increase the number of effective teachers in hard-to-staff subjects, and sustain the project beyond the life of the grants. The specific requirements of the program have been refined in the third round of awards in 2010, although the goals of the program remain similar. This interim report describes the first two cohorts of TIF projects, examines their implementation experiences, and reports educators' perceptions of the projects and what they accomplished. The experience of the first two cohorts of TIF grantees underscored the technical, cultural, and contextual complexity of compensation reform. Projects were implemented by these grantees in varying local contexts with shifting leadership, policy, and reform agendas. Many grantees reported having to rebuild their data systems, build understanding and support from educators for the new system, and add new evaluation responsibilities to administrators or accomplished teachers. In addition, many grantees had to develop support systems that would allow educators to make the changes necessary to succeed under a new compensation system. Moreover, grantees had to confront traditional attitudes and beliefs about how educators should be judged and differentiated. This interim report is part of a five-year national implementation evaluation (running from 2008 to 2013) focused on the first two cohorts of TIF grantees. It is guided by a document review of proposals and reports, telephone interviews of key project staff, teachers, and principals from grantees, and site visits to 12 grantees. The final implementation report (expected October 2012) will include data from all previous data collection efforts, as well as surveys of teachers and principals from the 33 remaining TIF grantees, a second round of site visits to 12 grantees, an examination of payout data, and an analysis of the distribution of effective teachers in two states with multiple TIF grants and third-party evaluations. Appendices include: (1) Interview protocols; (2) Profile of TIF grantees; (3) Components of performance pay projects; (4) Payout awards; (5) Comparison of Project Requirements Across TIF Cohorts; and (6) Glossary of terms. (Contains 17 exhibits and 48 footnotes.).

Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of a performance-based pay initiative and crystalizes the design issues and implementation challenges that confounded efforts to translate this promising policy into practice. This story has much to say to academics and policymakers who are trying to figure out the combinations of incentives and the full range of resources required to establish incentive programs that promote an adequate supply and equitable distribution of capable and committed educators for our public schools. The book uncovers the conditions that appear to be necessary, if not fully sufficient, for performance-based initiatives to have a chance to realize their ambitious aims and the research that is required to guide policy development. In so doing, the authors consider the thorny question of whether performance-based pay systems for educators are worth the investment. “Education reformers have long known that performance-based pay is devilishly difficult to implement. All too often top-down, piecemeal changes squander scarce resources and undermine trust. Now, Rice and Malen’s first-rate study of one district’s comprehensive pay reform reveals that even well-planned, collaborative efforts easily go awry, casting further doubt on the promise of pay incentives to improve schooling. This book is required reading for all well-intentioned reformers.” —Susan Moore Johnson, Harvard University “Rice and Malen provide a compelling account of one district’s experience with a performance-based incentive program for educators. This book is a rare and valuable analysis of a policy uncovering both the technical and political challenges inherent in designing and implementing reform even under the most promising of conditions. Given the enduring interest in and ongoing federal funding available for pay-for-performance policies—and the surprising lack of research evidence undergirding this popularity—it behooves policymakers, reformers, funders, and students to learn from this important case.” —Julie A.
