Texas PolicyCast: Paying for results
Teacher incentive pay programs in Texas school districts have produced higher test scores, higher state accountability rankings, improved teacher morale, and less teacher turnover. This according to a new report released this week by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, with generous support from the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation. On this edition of Texas PolicyCast, we talk with the report's author, Texas Public Policy Foundation education policy analyst Brooke Terry, about the history and role of incentive pay in Texas public schools.

Will there ever be a low perfomance standard for teachers, where they can be relived of their duties for lacking in teaching skills?
Very doubtful as long as teachers' unions hold sway over out education policies.
