talking tough to teachers

If a teacher is able to do better than the previous teacher that taught a similar type of class you give them a bonus. If a teacher fails to teach a certain class anything, you move them to a type of class that traditionally has been easier to teach (a classroom in an affluent neighborhood etc.). If they fail in that environment then clearly teaching should not be their chosen profession. If you have a teacher that is doing really well in an affluent school, you offer them a bonus to go to poorer school. If they don't work out in the poor school you send them back to the affluent school, but if they are successful at the poor school you give them a bonus and continue to give them bonses if they keep succeeding.
But you can't do any of this without data. And annual testing gives you that data.

What about new teachers? I certainly was not as good at my profession as I am now. How much time are you going to give people to get up to speed in their jobs before chucking them because they didn't get scores up in the first year?
