Document Number: 7476 Student Performance Assessment in Diversified Teacher Compensation Systems PDF - Changing the way teachers are paid to include outcomes, such as student performance, or incentives for teaching in at-risk schools is gaining support in districts and states across the country. The process is challenging, however, and policymakers need to be aware of the various issues involved. With the generous support of the Joyce Foundation, ECS has created a series of four issue papers covering various aspects of diversified compensation systems. This third paper discusses the use of student performance in teacher evaluation including value-added methods and the use of student achievement scores on standardized tests. Questions and issues policymakers need to consider if they are exploring the use of student performance in teacher evaluation are also presented.
