DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Education: "Would the promise of an extra $5,000 a year spur teachers to get more out of their students on testing day"
This being the most important thing, right? Wrong! What we need is for the "real teachers, please stand up!" (thoms). This is key here, why don't people get this?
"the way to encourage strong teachers is to reward their work." True...but how we judge good teaching is very subjective if we are not basing it on test scores. If we do base it on test scores, then how do we know that the teachers aren't teaching to the test, rather than, as Parker PAlmer says, really teaching and making the subject come alive? That is the goal.
