"This volume brings together a collection of insightful essays on a variety of issues associated with performance-related pay policies in education. Together, the essays not only provide invaluable background information, but also explore in a detailed yet accessible way some of the technical issues associated with the development and use of teacher performance metrics. This volume will be an excellent resource for policymakers, researchers, and educators alike." --Brian Jacob, Walter H. Annenberg Professor of Education Policy, University of Michigan "Teacher compensation needs reforming, including linking part of pay to teacher effectiveness in the classroom. Yet knowledge about how best to do so is still emerging. This volume makes a major contribution to the discussion of how to link teacher pay and performance in a responsible and effective way." --Janet S. Hansen, Vice President and Director of Education Studies, Committee for Economic Development "As American school districts move increasingly towards adopting non-traditional pay systems, the need for research regarding performance pay in education is greater than ever before. This book stands virtually alone as a compilation of serious knowledge and new insights about performance incentives. The authors have made a huge intellectual contribution to our understanding of how a new pay paradigm might actually operate." --James W. Guthrie, Patricia and Rodes Hart Professor of Education Leadership and Policy, Vanderbilt University " Performance Incentives offers a comprehensive look at a timely and still controversial topic. The book approaches the subject of new forms of teacher compensation from multiple angles and thus affords the reader a variety of perspectives to consider. Matthew Springer has assembled a unique set of papers that is bound to spark lively discussion. More importantly, this volume may also help to shape the policy debate around teacher pay." --Julia E. Koppich, J. Koppich & Associates
