Houston Schools New Teacher Merit Pay Program - Will It Help or Hinder?

Measurement of student achievement through rigorous national tests has a standard in Texas for many years. Houston schools have conducted their first merit pay program for teachers in 2000.

Houston schools believe the old program was too deep and incentives unanimously passed the new model in January, making it the largest merit pay program in the nation. The officials believe the new program rewards teachers more committed to students and improvingindividual teacher's efforts. Although no research has been conducted on the impact of such programs to improve student performance, were other programs in New York, Denver and Kentucky tried with varying success.

Houston entrepreneurs who have an interest in the completion of future employees who are service providers to support $ 14.5 million of the new Houston schools "-have program.

Houston school teacher incentives are on three components:

• The first component is based on the amountimproving the public school, a test results, as with the results of 40 other schools across the state with similar demographic composition;

• The second compares student progress with the 10 Stanford Achievement Test and its Spanish equivalent for students in the same classrooms and schools, Houston

• The third component compares student progress with the national Texas assessment of knowledge and skills to demonstrate similar Houston schools classrooms.

About half of the 12,300Teachers in schools, Houston claim to have received awards in all three categories, possibly a total of $ 3000 per deserve. The 305 schools, Houston authorities are entitled to as much as $ 6,000 each earn if they can reach the best teachers. Each of the 19 schools, Houston "executive head teacher and five regional superintendents are for up to $ 25,000 in consideration.

With 210,000 children, Houston schools, the largest district in the state, and its new program is not withoutOpposition.

Teachers unions are usually charged against teachers merit programs, and the Houston Federation of Teachers is no exception. The Union represents 40 percent of the schools, teachers and Houston believes across-the-board raises and a higher wage-price for new teachers would be more successful in raising student achievement scores. Houston schools new teachers start at $ 36,050 (the lowest in the top ten counties in Texas), and the wages of current Houston schools, teachersare at the lower end of the school in the country.

Many teachers have complained that the program deals with art teachers, and other subjects not covered by the testing process. The program includes special education, preschool and kindergarten teachers who are the backbone for improving the academic performance of children from families with low incomes. In addition, many teachers believe that forcing them to participate in the testing requirement rather than focusing on teaching real academicPerformance.

The new program has also opened up old wounds and increases the tension in the final merit pay program and its effect on the test results that are the basis for a suspended recently laid fraud scandal. The Texas Education Agency investigated the Houston schools and other districts in 1999 because of suspicious test results. Houston schools approved last year found that evidence of fraud was at four schools and testing irregularities were found at sevenother. Finally, six teachers were dismissed and more clients have been demoted or reprimanded, leave the city and frustrated by the merit pay program and its ensuing crush results.

Although the new Houston schools, teacher merit pay program sounds good in theory, it seems that it has expanded in practice the same old problems with the previous program.

ADHD Tied to Brain's Reward Pathway

By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health News

Sept. 8, 2009 -- A problem in the brain's reward center may be behind symptoms like inattention associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD).

New research suggests this dysfunction in the brain's reward pathway interferes with how people experience reward and motivation. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain essential to normal functioning of the nervous system.

"These deficits in the brain's reward system may help explain clinical symptoms of ADHD, including inattention and reduced motivation, as well as the propensity for complications such as drug abuse and obesity among ADHD patients," says researcher Nora Volkow, MD director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in a news release.

ADHD is a childhood psychological disorder that may also persist into adulthood and affects 3%-5% of American adults.

Researchers say the results offer new insight into ADHD as well as help explain why people with ADHD may be more likely to abuse drugs or become obese.

The study, published in TheJournal of the American Medical Association, used positron emission tomography (PET) brain scans to measure markers of the brain's dopamine system in 53 non-medicated adults with ADHD and a comparison group of 44 healthy adults.

The results showed that compared to the healthy adults, those with ADHD had a reduction of dopamine receptors and transporters in two regions of the brain involved in processing reward and motivation.

"This pathway plays a key role in reinforcement, motivation, and in learning how to associate various stimuli with rewards," says Volkow. "Its involvement in ADHD supports the use of interventions to enhance the appeal and relevance of school and work tasks to improve performance."

"Our results also support the continued use of stimulant medications -- the most common pharmacological treatment for ADHD -- which have been shown to increase attention to cognitive tasks by elevating brain dopamine," Volkow says.
