| Summary: | This paper uses data from a post-hoc
evaluation of a performance-based teacher incentive program
in the Kyrgyz Republic to examine the opinions of teachers
receiving different pay bonuses based on their performance
as assessed by external evaluators. Overall, teacher
opinions of the program were favorable, although teachers
who received lower performance ratings held less favorable
opinions about the motivational aspects of the program.
Despite this, lower-rated teachers were more likely to
report that they used what they learned to evaluate their
own teaching, as compared with more highly rated teachers,
and were more likely to take professional development
courses in the years following the program's implementation. |
