IN NASHVILLE AND NOW NEW YORK, PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE MODEL IS COMING UP SHORT
Daniel H. Pink posted an article on his blog entitled ‘Does giving teachers bonuses improve student performance?’ He references the first comprehensive study of this approach, from Nashville Public Schools, which showed that merit pay had little effect on classroom achievement. Now, a new study is out from Roland Fryer. Fryer examined the effects of pay-for-performance in New York City public schools.
As part of a PBS NewsHour series about Race to the Top, Learning Matters produced a report on the Nashville plan, as well as a podcast with Nashville Schools Superintendent Jesse Register talking about pay-for-performance. Both can be viewed on the Learning Matters website.
