This highly readable volume examines the status of the monetary and nonmonetary incentive plans in 17 school districts 10 years after the Urban Institute's first review of them and presents new findings and recommendations. A section on career ladder programs as they relate to teacher incentives reflects the increased use of such plans during the past decade. Case studies identify the current status of the incentive plans; the major changes that have occurred over the last 10 years; and the relative impacts of the plans on teacher performance, teacher motivation, and school climate.
