That's why if every teacher had 35% of their income in play each year then we would see some more motivated teachers. The bonus is just extra money. I wish we actually took from the bad ones and rewarded that money to the good ones. Then tell the parents who got rewarded and who took a hit. That way they could put their kids into productive classrooms.
The same teachers who are good teachers now would get the incentives. Why? Because they are good teachers who are self-motivated because doing a job well is its own reward. The bad teachers are still going to be bad because when they see that don't qualify for incentives then what is the point in trying?
From my experience with incentive programs, IMO they encourage the slackers or the greedy to commit fraud rather than actually forcing employees to "step up."
