Four Key Elements of Success
Multiple career paths give qualified teachers opportunities to take on more responsibility and be compensated for doing so
Ongoing applied professional growth provides teachers with school-based professional development during the school day
Instructionally focused accountability ties classroom observations to teaching skills and student achievement
Performance-based compensation means that teachers are compensated differentially based on the increased demands of the positions they hold, how well they perform in those positions, the quality of their instructional performance and their students' achievement growth
Lancaster ISD
Multiple Career Paths
TRADITIONAL Teacher position only All teachers
essentially have the same qualifications, responsibilities, authority and are assessed in the same way
Principals are there to provide support, impose discipline and assess teacher effectiveness
TAP MODEL Allows for advancement
while allowing the teacher to remain in the classroom:
Each step on the career path requires increased skills and knowledge and offers additional authority, responsibility and compensation
Mentor and master teachers become part of the TAP Leadership Team led by the principal
Lancaster ISD
Ongoing Applied Professional Growth
TRADITIONAL Individual
teachers go to selected training sessions and try to implement new practices on their own
TAP MODEL Provides time during
the school day for teachers to help one another to learn about and use effective teaching practices in their classrooms
Provides the structure to effectively implement curriculum and doesn’t act as an “add on”
Lancaster ISD
Instructionally Focused Accountability
TRADITIONAL Uses evaluation
standards that are often unclear or inadequate
Teacher evaluations are usually infrequent and provide little follow-up help and then only for problems, never for growth
Rarely are rewards linked to how well a teacher does on the evaluations
TAP MODEL Uses clear comprehensive
teaching standards that all teachers are trained to meet
Ongoing classroom support and coaching is provided to all teachers for improvement, not just for remediation
Good evaluations are rewarded financially
TAP evaluations ensure that all teachers have the opportunity to grow and become better instructors so that their students will achieve more
Lancaster ISD
Performance-Based Compensation
TRADITIONAL Compensation
is based on years on the job and training credits/units accumulated and ignores individual performance and effort
TAP MODEL Compensation is given for taking on
increased responsibility and authority
Salary augmentations for mentor and master positions
Bonus awards are earned based on performance:
- 50% skills, knowledge and responsibility
- 30% classroom-level value-added achievement gains
- 20% school-level value-added achievement gains
TAP salary enhancements are all over and above traditional salary schedule
