BROOKE, Nigel. Sobre a equidade e outros impactos dos incentivos monetários para professores. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.55, pp.34-62. ISSN 0103-6831.

In education, accountability policies often generate controversy, especially when they are based on measures that create significant consequences for teachers and their schools. In existence in Brazil for more than a decade, the payment of annual bonuses to school staff based on average student performance by external evaluation standards is the most widespread example among us of high stakes accountability policy. Among the many criticisms regarding the use of this type of incentive is the fear that the policy will lead to even greater systemic inequalities by encouraging the best teachers to seek schools with students of a higher socioeconomic level. This article shows that the consequences of incentive policies depend on their design, and that with appropriate methodologies it is possible to curb the system’s social inequalities.
