New Mexico Education
Secretary Hanna Skandera says the state is "off to a good start" with
15 teachers each approved to receive a $5,000 stipend for transferring from a
top-graded school to a low-graded one.
The teachers worked for the Las Cruces , Taos , Las Vegas City ,
Espanola, Estancia and Gallup
Teachers qualifying for stipends must have worked full-time
at schools with A or B grades last year and they must now teach full-time at
schools with D or F grades. And they have to stay at the D-F school through the
2014-2015 school year.
The state began the program in September but Skandera
says all the teachers receiving the stipends had transferred before the
announcement.

In my system, teachers and administrators would be randomly assigned to schools within their district every third year. This practice would shift folks about without distinction and without any control of those so that favorites could not be relocated by someone with pull. This program would either prove or disprove that it is the teachers who make the difference.
