Summary of Challenge

The way that the teaching profession in Texas is currently structured is not sustainable, and we must re-think our approach. This must include all aspects of how we support the profession:

The Singapore Approach: Pathways for Professional Growth

Leadership Track Senior Specialist Track Teaching Track Classroom Teacher

Director General of Education Director Deputy Director Cluster Superintendent Principal Vice Principal Head of Department Subject Head / Level Head Lead Specialist Senior Specialist 2 Senior Specialist 1 Principal Specialist Chief Specialist Principal Master Teacher Master Teacher Lead Teacher Senior Teacher Key difference between the Singapore system and historic approaches to ‘career ladders’ in the US—a meritocratic system for determining performance & potential

Lessons Learned: Past TX Teacher Incentive Programs

Varied Approaches

Career Ladders (1984-1993) Governor’s Educator Excellence Grant (‘05- ’08) Texas Educator Excellence Grant (‘06-’09) District Awards for Teacher Excellence (‘08- ’11)

Lessons Learned

 Need adequate & sustainable funding source – Formula funding, not riders  Ensure inter-rater reliability and use multiple measures including student growth

  • Teachers must have a fair, balanced process,

not just the whim of an administrator  Available to ALL teachers, and encourage professional collaboration

  • It can’t be limited to just a few, pitting teacher

against teacher.  Use it for recruitment & retention

  • Teachers don’t get better because of a

monetary incentive, but the incentive can keep them in the classroom longer

Should teachers be paid based upon their effectiveness?

Dallas ISD Case Study: Teacher Opinions

In spring 2017, Dallas ISD teachers answered a survey about this approach to evaluation & compensation. “My salary should be based on how effective I am as an educator.” 6716 responses

  • Strongly Agree - 23.0%
  • Agree - 38.7%
  • Neutral - 23.6%
  • Disagree - 9.4%
  • Strongly Disagree - 5.4%

61.7% Agree 14.8% Disagree

Dallas ISD Impact

DISD retained over 95% of its most effective teachers in 2016. Since the start of TEI, DISD reduced its low- performing campuses from 47 to 4.

Hypothetical Policy Framework

Create an Effective Educator Allotment as part of the Foundation School Program If a teacher is identified as highly effective, the district will receive more money There are multiple pathways to defining “highly effective” District participation is completely optional Funding increase would prioritize equity of need: high poverty and rural, ranging from $3,000 - $30,000 per year per teacher The teacher keeps the high performing designation, even if they change districts, and the money follows the teacher to the new district
