For Teachers

Performance Pay

The new compensation system, created in 1994, focuses on rewarding teachers for their individual and group performance. Any professionally licensed teacher will have the ability to apply for additional compensation by providing proof of their effectiveness in the classroom through a number of options and components.

The total compensation system is made up of:

• Individual Teacher Evaluation Credit
• Knowledge Level Increases
• Outstanding Bonus Options
• Master Teacher Bonus
• Group Incentive Pay
• Skill Blocks
• Responsibility Pay
