An evaluation brief on states' teacher evaluation policies compared policy requirements across states. It reports states required "less than half of the eight teacher evaluation policies" aligned with RTT criteria, with RTT states requiring more than non-RTT states. No effect size is printed.
"An evaluation brief on states' teacher evaluation policies showed that on average, states reported requiring less than half of the eight teacher evaluation policies aligned with criteria in the RTT application, although RTT states required more policies than did non-RTT states."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Districts implemented most components of the performance-based compensation system throughout all four years, but fewer than half planned to keep offering performance bonuses once the grant ended — related
- The average TIF bonus was about 4% of average teacher salary, below the 5% recommended by TIF grant guidance for substantial bonuses — related
- Few districts structured pay-for-performance bonuses to align well with TIF grant guidance — related
- Traditional salary schedules may not reward effective teaching or give the most effective teachers incentives to work in high-need schools, motivating performance-based compensation — related
