High Performing Teachers: Leading Students
New studies offer compelling evidence that confirms what many have always known: teachers are the single most important factor in raising student achievement. Yet, teacher preparation, recruitment and compensation systems developed during the 20th century do not fully address 21st century challenges. Funded for the first time in 2006, the Teacher Incentive Fund program is the Administrationâ??s signature initiative to develop and implement performance-based teacher and principal compensation systems in high-need, disadvantaged schools. The goals of the program are to improve student achievement by increasing the effectiveness of principals and teachers, and, at the same time, increase the number of effective teachers serving minority and disadvantaged students. This program looks at how we can prepare all teachers to lead our students towards success in todayâ??s world by showcasing award-winning teachers; explore how effective teaching is at the core of Americaâ??s competitiveness; and, highlight progressive strategies to recruit, train, and reward effective teachers.
