Merit pay for teachers: One program ending, another in the works
By: Rebecca Harris / September 07, 2010
This month, Chicago Public Schools will find out whether the district has been selected for a federal grant to launch a new initiative on merit pay that would radically restructure teacher compensation at participating schools.
The new initiative would replace Chicago TAP, the local version of the national Teacher Advancement Program, which will end in CPS when federal funding runs out in spring 2011.

Merit pay for teachers: One program ending, another in the works
TAP need to monitor the schools programs more closely. I was a teacher at a TAP school and the Principal and the lead teacher tried to keep me on the outside of what was really going on as far as whend I am going to be paid. It is now Sept 21/10 and I have not been paide yet.
Another thing is if everything is based on the success of the classroom teacher why do the whole school get paid?

Perhaps you are not being paid because if you can't write, use proper grammar and spell simple 4 letter words, you shouldn't have been hired in the first place!
