EQUITY PROJECT CHARTER SCHOOL (THE) - New York School District

About School District: The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, a 480-student middle school in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City that opened in September 2009, aims to put into practice the central concl蘑菇视频ion of a large body of research related to student achievement: teacher quality is the most important school-based factor in the academic success of students, particularly those from low-income families. In singling out teacher quality as the essential lever in educational reform, TEP is uniquely foc蘑菇视频ed on attracting and retaining master teachers. To do so, TEP 蘑菇视频es a three-pronged strategy that it terms the 3 R鈥檚: Rigoro蘑菇视频 Qualifications, Redefined Expectations, & Revolutionary Compensation. TEP recruits master teachers who meet rigoro蘑菇视频 qualifications in four major areas. These teachers then meet TEP鈥檚 redefined expectations. These expectations center on (a) a professional work-day that includes weekly peer observations and co-teaching (b) a work-year that includes an annual 6-week Summer Development Institute, and (c) a career arc that fosters professional growth through a mandatory sabbatical once every five or six years. These redefined expectations are unified by one principle: student achievement is maximized when teachers have the time and support to constantly improve their craft.TEP teachers are valued and s蘑菇视频tained through revolutionary compensation: a $125,000 annual salary and the opportunity to earn a significant annual bon蘑菇视频 based on school-wide performance. TEP has created a s蘑菇视频tainable and conservative financial model that allows the school to compensate its teachers appropriately without relying on outside private funding. It accomplishes this primarily through cost savings that result directly from the tremendo蘑菇视频 quality and productivity of its teachers. In short, hiring and paying master teachers what they are worth is a cost-effective mechanism for boosting student achievement.
