This booklet examines the cost implications of reward-for-performance plans for teacher compensation. The growing acceptance of plans that recognize effective teaching with financial or other rewards is noted in the introduction, and some of the arguments against such plans are expressed. The first chapter reviews the origins and aims of the traditional single salary schedule and describes the kinds of modifications districts and states are making or proposing for the purpose of rewarding excellence. These plans include career ladders, multiple salary schedules, merit pay, extended contracts, and pay for extra work or work in critical subject areas. The second chapter discusses the factors affecting the costs of performance pay plans. In addition to the costs of the rewards themselves, administrators must consider the costs of planning the program and evaluating the teachers. It must also be realized that the costs of a program will include the costs associated with lowered morale and increased staff turnover if the program proves unsatisfactory to the teachers. In the third chapter, costs for two evaluation processes are compared and incorporated into simulations of merit pay and career ladder plans. The costs associated with extended contracts are also discussed. (PGD)
