In a recent volume edited by Susan Sclafani, Evaluating and Rewarding the Quality of Teachers: International Practices, NCPI director Matthew Springer co-authored a chapter presenting key design features to be considered in a performance pay system.

Springer and center research assistant Ryan Balch wrote “Design Components of Incentive Pay Programmes in the Education Sector.” The chapter discusses important aspects of performance pay design, including the structure of incentives, whose performance determines teachers’ eligibility for bonus awards, performance standards and thresholds, the size, distribution, and frequency of award payouts, among other considerations.
