Abstract

Public school systems across the United States have seen unprecedented expansion of incentive-based reforms, such as teacher performance pay, school choice, new governance forms, and alternative pathways to teaching and leadership. These reforms, many of which have had mixed results in evaluations of their effectiveness, are spreading despite a lack of research to show that such expansion is warranted.
