Abstract	On January 12, 2006, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Education approved a teacher performance-pay program awarding teachers financial incentives based on three indicators of performance pay. These indicators involved group performance for teachers based on campus second grade comparative growth in mathematics and reading and EVAAS™ department cumulative gain index within a subject; group performance campus-wide based on the EVAAS™ campus composite cumulative gain index and campus growth or achievement, and individual teacher performance based on student progress on state and district assessment programs (EVAAS™ teacher composite cumulative gain index). After consultations with national experts, teachers, and administrators, the teacher performance-pay model was improved and enhanced, which then became the ASPIRE Award, one component of the district's ASPIRE (Accelerating Student Progress: Increasing Results and Expectations) school improvement and performance management model. The purpose of the HISD ASPIRE Award Model was to reward teachers for their efforts in improving the academic growth of their students. ASPIRE Award employs a value-added methodology that provides teachers with the information they need to facilitate and measure student progress at the student, classroom, and campus levels. This report summarizes the effectiveness of the 2012-2013 ASPIRE Award as required by state and federal grants. Information is provided in the following areas: (1) Award Payout; (2) Recruitment and Retention; (3) Teacher Attendance; (4) Student Academic Performance; (5) Survey Feedback; (6) Distribution of Highly Effective Teachers Across the District; and (7) Administrative Response.
