Did you know???

Statewide measures 1, 2 and 3 are in the news.  Measure 2, is a statewide pay for performance plan.  Did you know that during the 2010-2011 school year, the Shoshone School District implemented a local pay for performance plan.  The plan was developed as a joint venture between the Board of Trustees and the Shoshone teachers.  Upon development of the plan, both the Board and the teachers approved of the plan.  The plan is designed based upon our overall school ISAT goals.  The goals are:  keep students that score “advanced” or “proficient” on ISAT at those levels, move students scoring “basic” to “advanced” or “proficient” and moving those student scoring “below basic” to at least “basic.”  The system rewards teachers meeting these goals with pay, but also rewards students meeting these goals with reward trips.  The plan has generally been considered a success by students, parents, and the Board.
