Five Utah schools will pay teachers for performance

Starting next school year, more Utah teachers will earn money based on their performance in the classroom.

In five pilot schools, educators will earn up to an additional $2,000 each for boosting student achievement, for the quality of their instruction and for parent satisfaction. Currently, most teachers’ pay is based on years of experience and educational background.

While some educators have reservations about the $300,000-a-year program, saying it’s not the best use of state money in hard economic times, some Utah leaders see it as a first step in possibly spreading performance pay statewide.
