...individual teachers based on their students’ test scores. Such a model uniquely achieves both individual and collective accountability for achievement: Granting bonuses in a lump sum to a school will encourage teachers to work together, while appropriating awards on an individual basis will hold teachers accountable within their own classrooms. If a teacher knows that her bonus is based on an average of her students’ scores, she will be more inclined to work closely with students who are most deficient in basic skills, hoping to accelerate them to the pace of the rest of the class...
