That&#8217;s not her fault: it reflects the simple fact that there is little professional research documenting salutary effects of any pay-for-performance policies (regardless of details). Until we get something on that order, any prescriptions for what to do in a positive sense is foolhardy, let alone inserting any oxymoronic phrase like &#8220;proven&#8221; strategies into NCLB (from the Miller-McKeon draft language on performacne pay).
