Its final report on the Pilot, Catalyst for Change, issued in January 2004 showed a link between student growth and teachers who set the highest level of Objectives.
Pay For Performance Pilot - The Denver Pay for Performance Pilot Program. It was a four year collaborative and groundbreaking effort between DPS and DCTA which investigated the interrelated issues of student achievement, teaching processes and teacher compensation.
