dc.description	Children’s achievement and successful academic competence are directly correlated to teacher quality and efficacy. American K-12 students’ reading and math scores, as well as international competition results, have suggested that the education system is at risk. Although multiple education reform models and laws have been enforced to improve the state of K-12 school education, these results were not measurably successful. Furthermore, teacher shortage has proved to be a chronic crisis, stemming from high attrition rates and decreased enrollment in teacher preparation programs. This reveals the need to make the teaching profession more attractive, in a way that can increase teacher proficiency and efficacy as a solution to improve accountability for successful K-12 school education. Many studies have found that teacher pay is not the primary reason of teacher attrition, but rather stems from a lack of administrative support in conjunction with non-competitive compensation. Therefore, this preliminary study conducted two new trials: A Performance-Based Compensation (PBC) Index was developed as a proposed salary structure and the potential effectiveness was tested. The intended purpose of the PBC Index is to both properly compensate highly proficient teachers and provide strong support to struggling teachers to improve their own proficiency. Current teachers’ perceptions and perspectives on this new model were evaluated and the implication of results were included in this study.	en_US
