About
Partnership for Innovation in Compensation for Charter Schools (TIF/PICCS) - Through the PICCS program, CEI has been able to support educators and school leaders to become highly effective professionals in the following ways: Foster authentic collaboration at all levels of the school through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) that use data to research student learning challenges and create shared action strategies. Support teacher effectiveness through observations using the Danielson Framework. Support principal effectiveness through the use of the Vanderbilt Assessment of Leadership in Education (VAL-ED). Provide a comprehensive educator and school leader evaluation system that integrates measures of professional practice and student outcomes to provide educators with an annual review tied to compensation. Offer extensive professional development and a structure to participate in instructional rounds across and within schools. Assist schools in creating a performance-based salary schedule and teacher career ladder that allows effective teachers to advance their career without leaving the classroom. Hone the instructional and leadership expertise needed to dramatically improve student achievement, rewarding our most effective educators, and achieving high levels of performance for all students and teachers. PICCS is funded through grants awarded to CEI by US Department of Education (USDOE) through its Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) legislative appropriation.
