If performance-based compensation must be based primarily on student achievement, how can teachers of subjects such as arts, music and physical education participate in this program?
Teachers and other instructional staff may still qualify under some, but not necessarily all, of the criteria designed for the performance-based compensation system. For instance, teachers in subjects for which there are no standardized student assessments can still qualify for compensation benefits based on overall school achievement gains, on classroom evaluations, and perhaps by taking on new assignments. The Department encourages applicants to offer their own strategies by which all teachers can appropriately qualify for teacher incentives through their contributions to student achievement.
