One such experiment was the recently completed Project on Incentives in Teaching (POINT) (<a title=\"POINT Experiment\" href=\"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/performanceincentives\/research\/point-experiment\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a> to learn more about POINT). \u201cWe tested the most basic and fundamental question related to performance incentives \u2013 Does bonus pay alone improve student outcomes? \u2013 and we found that it does not,\u201d explains Matt Springer, director of NCPI and assistant professor of public policy and education at Peabody. From these findings, NCPI encourages the research and policy communities to \u201craise the level of debate\u201d and \u201ctest more nuanced solutions\u201d for compensating effective educators. NCPI continues to pursue these objectives with ongoing research and evaluation of various types of incentive pay programs across the country, including those in Texas and New York City, among others.<\/p>\n<p>NCPI shared the honor of being named a \u201cgreat idea\u201d with other notable Peabody innovations, including Knapp Farm, Lloyd Dunn and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Susan Gray and Head Start, READ 180, The Adventures of Jasper Woodbury, and Responsiveness to Intervention.<\/p>\n<p>To read a copy of \u201dSeven Great Ideas\u201d or other articles featured in the\u00a0<em>Peabody Reflector\u2019s<\/em> winter 2010 issue,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/magazines\/peabody-reflector\/category\/issue\/winter-2010\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.
