Dallas ISD Principal and Teacher Incentive Program Overview

The roles of the principal as the leader and the teachers in imparting knowledge are crucial in improving and sustaining high student achievement, particularly in urban districts with high minority populations. The Dallas Independent School District Principal and Teacher Incentive Pay program will reward highly effective principals and teachers for creating, reaching, and maintaining high standards of student achievement. The Dallas ISD has a 14-year history of identifying outstanding principals and teachers. The proposal builds on this history and existing apparatus to identify and reward effective principals based on a combination of direct and value-added measures of student achievement and reward effective teachers based on value-added measures of their students' achievement.

In addition to awarding high achievement, the proposal includes refinement of the Dallas database for tracking student-teacher assignments; incentives for principals and teachers to participate in substantive, high-standards professional development; incentives for highly effective teachers to move to and stay in high needs campuses; and procedures for insuring the integrity of test results.

A broad-based steering committee will develop, implement and monitor specific procedures for eligibility and awarding incentive funds and assuring the integrity of results. The Dallas ISD nationally-recognized Research and Evaluation Department will conduct a thorough evaluation of all phases of the project.
