An external study of Denver’s teacher compensation plan shows teachers who opt into the system get slightly better results from students than those who don’t.
But the study of ProComp by University of Colorado assistant professor Edward Wiley says results are preliminary and may reflect teachers who have higher degrees or who have experienced success before. In math, students whose teachers opted into ProComp scored, on average, 0.196 points higher on the Colorado Student Assessment Program, or CSAP. In reading, students scored an average of 0.242 points higher.
The teachers union, in negotiations for a new contract, say ProComp should not be changed until more data is available. The study can be found on the education website .
