Praise:

“ProComp has established a foundation for future efforts to change how teachers are paid. This book reveals the details of the brave effort to rethink teacher compensation through labor-management collaboration. And when it comes to education reforms, the details are precisely the toughest part.”
—Adam Urbanski, Director, Teacher Union Reform Network

“When the history of the triumph of pay-for-performance teacher compensation
is finally written, this book will be one of the key sources. Gonring, Teske, and
Jupp recount the process, explain the initiative, and foreshadow what’s next for
this issue. In doing so they make clear why Denver has played a signal role in this
debate.”
—Andy Rotherham, Cofounder and Codirector of Education Sector, and
Coeditor, Collective Bargaining in Education

"Everyone says we must attract better teachers and pay them for the right results. Denver is one of the few places that is doing something about it. Performance pay is hard to design well and even harder to manage politically. In this book, key insiders show us how it can be done."
—Paul T. Hill, John and Marguerite Corbally Professor, and Director, Center on Reinventing Public Education, Evans School of Public Affairs, University of Washington
