Differentiated Compensation Symposium
November 18, 2008
Houston, TX
Differentiated compensation is one of many strategies some school districts and states are either implementing or investigating, with the goal of improving teacher effectiveness and student learning.
The Houston Independent School District and Battelle for Kids are cohosting a one-day symposium to provide a forum for education leaders and others to hear about differentiated-compensation programs in practice across the country.
There is no debate that differentiating educators’ compensation evokes strong positions—positive and negative. This symposium is designed to bring these issues to light and generate discussion about practical applications and lessons learned from districts and states pioneering the use of differentiated compensation.
Participants will include national, state, and district-level education leaders, policy-makers, and others who want to examine the opportunities and challenges around these programs.

Federal momentum around growth models and value-added analysis continues to rise, and many believe growth models offer great opportunity to improve teaching and learning practices like never before. Recognizing the demand for professional development opportunities around understanding, interpreting and applying value-added information, Battelle for Kids is pleased to host the fifth annual national value-added conference.
This conference will build attendees’ knowledge about how to apply value-added information and provide opportunities to share ideas and strategies to accelerate this valuable school improvement tool. This 2 ˝-day conference (one pre-conference day and 1˝ -full conference days) is designed for state, district and building-level administrators, education policy-makers, public education foundations, school board members, teachers, higher education faculty and education organizations.
