@jtschemm My other idea was having a pool of bonus money teachers can submit a portfolio to (including observations). #ctedchat

@jtschemm Just one idea. Currently we just reward those who do more with a "good job, go get em tiger" #ctedchat

I think rewarding with competitive extra duty positions could work within current contracts (stipends to write curriculum, data) #ctedchat

@CDietter @tom_brant Couldnt this be in contract? What if was set pool of money and teachers had to apply for a piece of pie? #ctedchat

@JoyWright91 Then should pay raises be based solely on steps, so those whose hearts beat longer reap greater rewards? #ctedchat

@tom_brant I am thinking performance pay could be competitive extra duties, grants, possibly teacher portfolios, observations. #ctedchat

A3 We need to do more than just rewarding talent with more responsibility. I have hope for new teacher certification levels. #ctedchat

A3: I do not think measures either VAM or SGP are sensitive enough for performance pay. #ctedchat. Could see observation or portfolio.

A2: I have seen contracts protect students (prep time, class size) and interfere (pay raise by heartbeat) #ctedchat
