Merit pay is in the news again. And once again people are jumping on the bandwagon. What are the parameters for awarding merit pay? If reading scores go up does that mean all teachers receive the award or only language art teachers? What about the administrators that may have set up training and found the funds? What about the registrar that had to work the master schedules? What about the other teachers in the school who sacrificed funding to allow the LA teachers to raise the scores? What about the grade level teachers that don’t test?
It takes a village to raise a child. But it also takes a whole school effort to raise test scores.
