Performance Pay for AZ Educators





It seems important to acknowledge that nearly 4 million dollars will be awarded to Arizona educators in the next month as additional compensation for performance. Currently over 1,680 teachers and 60 administrators are participating in the Teacher Incentive Fund awarded to Arizona State University under the Obama administration as part of his educational reform initiative. While pay for performance is still surrounded by controversy and often debated between teacher's unions and policymakers it is exciting that AZ educators are earning an average bonus of $2,340. This is a first for educators in the state of Arizona and a step in the right direction of rewarding educators for their performance.

Below is a link to an article outlining the details of this monumental moment in AZ.
