Best Practices Center
The NIET Teacher Quality Best Practices Center was created in order to utilize the experience and lessons learned from the implementation, operation and evaluation of the Teacher Advancement Program in a wide variety of schools, as well as from NIET’s research on other reform efforts to improve teacher quality. The Center’s variety of experts offer technical advice to a broad base of teacher quality initiatives, including performance pay. Equipped with vital information learned over the last several decades of reform, the Center provides tailored assistance to high-need schools in creating effective, sustainable systems.
Visit this section for current research and policy reports discussing a range of educational issues but centering on teacher quality, including effective teaching and performance pay.
What ingredients do you need to develop an effective performance-pay plan?
The National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) and ten other leading teacher quality organizations have established the Working Group on Teacher Quality. Through this partnership, we’ve created a roadmap to guide the development of successful and sustainable performance-pay programs.
This project was funded by the Joyce Foundation and coordinated by NIET.
The National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) and fellow members of the Working Group on Teacher Quality held a roundtable discussion with policymakers, researchers and practitioners with expertise in value-added analysis of student achievement. The purpose of the discussion was to create a broader understanding of how value-added analysis of student achievement can be used as an indicator of teacher effectiveness, and the implications this has for policy and practice. This document presents a summary of the roundtable's major themes, findings and lessons learned.
