Teacher-Pay Incentives: Do They Work?

Sabrina Laine, Ph.D., director of the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality, fielded questions about teacher-pay incentives during a live online chat hosted in October 2006 by Education Week. The chat—titled Teacher-Pay Incentives: Do They Work?—featured 45 questions from teachers, school administrators, government representatives, parents, and college students majoring in education.

Dr. Laine was joined on the panel by Tricia Coulter, Ph.D., director of the Teaching Quality and Leadership Institute at ECS, and Ben Schaefer, program manager at the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future. The three discussed the research, or lack of research, on the effectiveness of teacher-pay incentives. A PDF version of the transcript of the chat is available.
