Student Growth Details
PURPOSE
Reward teachers whose students meet and exceed expectations for academic growth
Teachers/specialists will set two annual objectives. Those who meet both of their annual objectives will receive a salary increase of 1% Index. Teachers who meet one objective will receive a 1% Index bonus. Teachers who do not meet either objective will receive no increase.
Teachers whose students exceed an agreed-upon range for one year's growth as measured by CSAP math and reading will receive a 3% sustainable increase. Teachers who fall below the lower limit of a standard range will lose their sustainable increase if they have earned on in the past.
Teachers who work in schools defined as "distinguished" will receive a bonus of 2% Index. Distinguished schools will be determined annually based on 30-40 school accrediation indicators. These include outstanding results based on student growth data and factors such as school climate, attendance and graduation rates.
