Q&A: Will the teachers of Washington DC accept pay for performance contract, or stick with pay for tenure?
Question by Track P: Will the teachers of Washington DC accept pay for performance contract, or stick with pay for tenure?
Washington DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee negotiated for more than a year with local labor leaders of the Washington Teachers’ Union the agreement: D.C. teachers would become the country’s highest paid but, in exchange, they would surrender tenure rights to allow the system to get rid of ineffective teachers. The bedrock of the proposal was the proposition that teachers would be judged by their effectiveness in boosting student achievement. Union officials — particularly those in the national organization — viewed the proposal as an unacceptable assault on teacher seniority, and it’s never been put to a vote.
