West Denver Prep Performance Bonus 2010-2011 School Year
Bonus: Goals and Objectives • WDP is geared around student achievement. For exceptional achievement, we want to provide additional rewards. • Transparency: We want everyone to understand and align metrics of success. 100% of the bonus is “Objective” – i.e. based on quantitative student performance on state and national tests (NWEA MAPS, CSAP) • In education, increased compensation is traditionally the result of years of service or additional training; we want increased compensation to also be the result of exceptional student achievement results. • Teamwork: 50% of the bonus is based on individual performance, 50% is based on team performance- department, except in first year schools, which use grade. You are accountable to your peers. • Metrics are set based on WDP Accountability Plan goals, with 50% of bonus paid for achieving target goals and 100% for doubling the goal. • Bonus structure intended to be layered on top of – not to replace - an existing pay scale. • Bonus plan is somewhat complex (few others are doing this). It is also a work-in-progress; we revise it often to make it responsive to results. West Denver Preparatory Charter School • www.westdenverprep.org
