Teachers at high risk HISD schools will not have to make copies, grade papers at night, do lesson plans - just teach, Superintendent Mike Miles says.
Imagine no lesson plans, no grading papers at night after dinner, no phone calls to parents once the day's lessons are over, no fighting a losing battle with the copier machine. Just a day of teaching to students.
In his approach, Miles has a methodology that signals heavy respect for what good teachers can do, while at the same time relieving those teachers of some of the duties such as lesson plans that they might not want to let go. What this requires is a different kind of commitment, one that sounds like they'll need to put their cell phones in a drawer.
We met in a Lamar High storage closet where a table and chairs had been shoehorned in and as has been usual with media interviews in his initial week on the job, it was another ready-set-go rapid fire session, not leaving a lot of time for musing. "There was an increase of of teachers who left or were not renewed after the first year of the teacher evaluation report. But the other side of that coin is, the teachers who were proficient or higher had the lower leave rate. We had a great retention rate of teachers who were proficient or higher. It was designed to keep the teachers who were proficient or higher."
While incentive programs like this have been used more and more in the United States, there still remains a lot of controversy about the use of a merit pay system for teachers and principals that relies on student test scores. The study acknowledged this citing several other locations where a system like that has not seen improved test scores.
Perhaps the biggest question facing the superintendent and board most immediately is how they have their first workshop on the 2023-24 budget this Thursday and then pass a budget the following Thursday in a process that usually takes months for a board to track through.
