INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana teachers would have their pay linked to student performance under a proposal that cleared a legislative hearing Wednesday.
The Republican-controlled Senate Education Committee voted Wednesday to advance the bill that would require teachers to be evaluated each year. Teachers would be ranked into one of four categories. Local districts would create their own evaluations systems but would have to include objective measures of student achievement.
Teachers who fall into the lowest two categories wouldn't receive any automatic pay raises.
Supporters say the bill aims to recognize and reward outstanding teachers. But critics say test scores shouldn't play such a heavy role in teacher evaluations.
