| Summary |
"Pay for performance as been the subject of much recent debate in Australia. In this paper, Peter Cole contributes to informed discussion of the associated issues by exploring some of the more recent working models of pay for performance schemes in the United States. He discusses their relative advantages, disadvantages and effectiveness for promoting quality teaching and producing improved student learning. Whilst more work needs to be done to test and refine pay for contribution policies and practices, he concludes there is sufficient evidence to suggest that appropriatey structured pay for contribution schemes have the potential to become a key strategy for improving the teacher workforce and for lifting the performance of schools." -- back cover |
