Longitudinal Analysis of Performance Pay for Special Education Student Group Achievement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Negative achievement growth of a special education student group was identified as they progressed from third to fifth grade. Linear Mixed Model(LMM) of three cohort groups was also employed to examine the relation between special education student group achievement and performance pay for special and regular education teachers. The result indicated that there was no positive outcome associated with performance pay; thus, this study raises the question effectiveness of performance pay for teacher efficacy. With respect to special education student learning, performance pay should be reorganized to support special education teachers. The implications of this study are also discussed.
