Mark Ehlert, Tim Gronberg, Laura Hamilton, Dennis Jansen, Jessica Lewis, Omar Lopez, Chris Patterson, Michael Podgursky, Matthew Springer, Brian Stecher, and Lori Taylor presented findings stemming from the first-year evaluation of the Texas Educator Excellence Grant (TEEG) program, the largest of two statewide performance incentive programs operating in Texas during the 2006-07 school year. Overall findings indicate that many of the traditional arguments against performance incentive policies, namely the negative impact on teacher collaboration and instructional quality, were not reported by teachers in TEEG schools during the first year of program implementation. While these findings do offer insight into the early experiences of educators, authors caution that it is too soon to attribute those findings to the TEEG program itself.
