Guiding questions for teacher pay increases:
Teacher behaviors are incompatible with Core Values?
Teacher performance does not consistently meet or exceed the expectations of the role?
Teacher are on a performance improvement plan?
Teacher is new to the role and more time is needed to observe their performance?
Teacher are not effectively impacting student achievement?

Reward educators who distinguish themselves with exceptional performance
Annual performance cycle is a significant factor driving pay for performance decisions
Performance-sensitive pay can be given in the form of a base pay increase, one-time lump sum performance bonuses, or a combination of the two
Not be confused with across the board increases or cost of living increases
