Book Synopsis Superintendent and Teacher Perceptions of Performance-Based Pay by : David Moyer
Download or read book Superintendent and Teacher Perceptions of Performance-Based Pay written by David Moyer and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current policy push in America is an intense focus on teacher effectiveness. Often, legislators and business leaders assume that merit pay in education is a means to improve teacher performance despite the fact that it has never worked and is debunked by the research. In his book Superintendent and Teacher Perceptions of Performance Based Pay, Dr. Moyer examines the concepts of knowledge and skills and group performance based pay from the perspective of Illinois school superintendents and teacher association presidents to determine the extent to which these compensation systems might be a viable alternative to the single salary schedule. The book traces the history of teacher compensation, examines the role teacher motivation plays, includes lessons from districts that were early implementers, provides a detailed analysis of the research, and yields several surprising insights, including the finding that superintendents and association presidents actually agree on several major concepts that could make moving to alternative compensation systems much more feasible than might be assumed.

Book excerpt: This report presents information regarding the patterns of variation in the salaries paid to public and private school teachers in relation to various personal and job characteristics. Specifically, the analysis examines the relationship between compensation and variables such as public/private schools, gender, race/ethnic background, school level and type, teacher qualifications, and different work environments. The economic conceptual framework of hedonic wage theory, which illuminates the trade-offs between monetary rewards and the various sets of characteristics of employees and jobs, was used to analyze The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) database. The national survey was administered by the National Center for Education Statistics during the 1987-88, 1990-91, and 1993-94 school years. Findings indicate that on average, public school teachers earned between about 25 to 119 percent higher salaries than did private school teachers, depending on the private subsector. Between about 2 and 50 percent of the public-private difference could be accounted for by differences in teacher characteristics, depending on the private subsector. White and Hispanic male public school teachers earned higher salaries than their female counterparts. Hedonic wage theory would predict that teacher salaries would be higher in schools with more challenging, more difficult, and less desirable work environments. Schools with higher levels of student violence, lower levels of administrative support, and large class sizes paid higher salaries to compensate teachers for the additional burdens. However, some of the findings contradict the hypothesis. For example, public school teachers working in schools characterized by fewer family problems, higher levels of teacher influence on policy, and higher job satisfaction also received higher salaries. In conclusion, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that a complex array of factors underlie the processes of teacher supply and demand and hence the determination of salaries. Teachers are not all the same, but are differentiated by their attributes. At the same time, districts and schools are differentiated by virtue of the work environment they offer. Seventeen tables and two figures are included. Appendices contain technical notes, descriptive statistics and parameter estimates for variables, and standard errors for selected tables.

Book Synopsis Teachers' Perceptions about how an Alternative Method of Compensation Affected Their Teaching Practice by : Juan Pablo Barrio
Download or read book Teachers' Perceptions about how an Alternative Method of Compensation Affected Their Teaching Practice written by Juan Pablo Barrio and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers have historically been paid using a single salary schedule. However, since the publication of A Nation at Risk (1983), calls for implementing reforms have led to alternative pay for teachers becoming increasingly common among districts across the nation. Such implementations have seldom been accompanied by input from teachers about how such methods affect their profession. Since teacher's voice seems to remain almost absent in research about these implementations, with a few exceptions noted in the literature review, their input about how such methods of alternative compensation impact their work as educators emerge as a necessity. Research-based knowledge must fill this need. The purpose of the study was to measure teachers' perceptions about how an alternative method of compensation has affected their teaching practice, motivation, and collaboration. The study sought to describe patterns of relationships between the perceptions of teachers about the impact on teaching practice, motivation, and collaboration of the incentive pay plan implemented under the Districts Awards for Teacher Excellence (DATE) and an array of independent variables related to the exercise of their profession in their campus. These variables include money awarded by the program, subject and grade taught, and teacher characteristics (experience, certification, demographic data, etc.). A survey research design was used in the study. The instrument was administered to teachers in elementary and middle schools campuses in the Fort Bend Independent School District, in the metro area of Houston, Texas, where alternative compensation funded by the District Awards for Teacher Excellence (DATE) was implemented. Data collection occurred during May 2010, and the online survey was accessed by 241 teachers. One potential participant did not accept to take part in the study and 22 participants did not answer any instrument's item, thus leaving the total number of actual respondents to 219. Factorization techniques were used to confirm the validity and reliability of the instrument. Data analysis was conducted using simultaneous multiple linear regression statistical techniques. The results of the study showed that the scales developed to measure the perceived impact of compensation on teaching practice, motivation, and collaboration are adequate scientific measurement tools. The results also indicated that the findings concluded from the scales developed should be analyzed with caution. The regression models processed to find the degree of association between predictor variables and the perceived effect of alternative compensation did not show statistical significance in two of the three perception scales measured: teaching practice and collaboration. The regression model processed to find the degree of association between predictor variables and the perceived effect of alternative compensation on motivation showed overall statistical significance. Two independent variables in the model showed a statistically significant degree of relationship with the dependable variable: one positive (Asian teachers compare to White teachers) and one negative (Age). Therefore, it seems reasonable to suggest that the DATE incentive program did not affect in any significant way teachers' teaching practice, motivation, and collaboration in the exercise of their profession, as perceived by the teachers themselves.

Book Synopsis How to Create World Class Teacher Compensation by : Allan Odden
Download or read book How to Create World Class Teacher Compensation written by Allan Odden and published by Freeload Press, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This presentation is based on the following principles: 1. The key accountability for schools is to improve student performance. 2. Teachers in the classroom (including those in hard-to-staff fields such as math and special education) and their instructional practice are the single most important factors that will lead to improved student performance. 3. Teacher compensation is the single biggest part of the education budget (often more than 60%). 4. Therefore, linking pay to teacher performance รข instructional practice that produces student learning gains is the best way to expend money in a way that ultimately improves student performance. This book shows how the connections among those principles are playing. [Web, ed].
Book Synopsis Restructuring Teacher Pay to Reward Excellence by : National Council on Teacher Quality

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When negotiating new teacher contracts, most districts, no doubt, are focusing discussions on averting wage freezes and massive layoffs. But prudent districts--those looking for long-term solutions to budget problems as well as those seeking to more fairly compensate the most effective teachers--are reconsidering the traditional salary schedule, which rewards teachers for years of experience and graduate credits. More than a half century ago, districts developed teacher salary schedules, embedding the incentives for both experience and education as a response to real inequities in pay. Previously, higher salaries had been reserved for principals' favorites, high school teachers rather than their elementary counterparts and males instead of females. But today, one can make the case that the current approach to teacher compensation has outlived its usefulness. For example, accountability systems discourage principals from making salary choices that are not in a school's best interest and anti-discrimination laws protect teachers against unjust compensation decisions. Most significantly, the salary schedule, as currently defined, does not consider teacher effectiveness, making it inherently unfair to talented teachers. It has also led to "wage compression," meaning that teachers with the most aptitude earn no more than teachers with the lowest aptitude, rendering teaching an unattractive career choice for talented college graduates. This paper argues for wholesale innovations in teacher compensation. This paper makes the case that truly effective teacher pay reform is best achieved by aligning compensation with a district's primary needs: improving student achievement and placing the best teachers where they are needed most. To study this issue in detail, this paper drew upon the National Council on Teacher Quality's TR[3] database, which contains teacher contracts, school board policies and state laws governing the teaching profession in over 100 large school districts. This paper also presents additional data sampled from 13 large public school districts. (Contains 10 figures and 10 footnotes.).
