This paper addresses the issue of educator compensation reform from perspectives of management science and political science. Based on a retrospect of the history of educator compensation and related reform efforts, the paper analyses the components of the contemporary reward system and its negative consequences in practice. The authors argue that performance pay reform may serve as an effective way to the enhancement of school efficiency and student achievement. However, the future of the current reform is subject to the volatile interaction between fluid political dynamics and the kind of performance pay involved. The surest way to its survival is the systemic integration and alignment of the incentive programs to holistic approaches to building human capital and elevating student performance.
