Idea to send:	Topic teacher merit pay Content Teacher merit pay ought to include a variety of components and not simply test scores. It could include teacher attendance and tardiness. Hours spent in training, college courses, or leading training and in-services. Volunteer hours tutoring children or other extra-curricular activities with students after school hours. The "test score" portion of evaluation should be based on a pre-test, post-test of PASS skills of THE SAME BODY OF STUDENTS! A teacher who unluckily gets a class having 2 non-English speakers, one major discipline problem that is ignored by a weak Principal, and 2 should-be-in-Special Ed.- but- parents won't- sign -the- papers should not be held to the same standards as a teacher who gets a model class of students. Safeguards must be put into place to protect the good teachers who get a crappy class.
