Abstract	The purpose of the "Accelerating Student Progress: Increasing Results and Expectations" (ASPIRE) Award Survey was to gain insight regarding the level of knowledge and perceptions of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) teachers and staff after eleven years of implementation of growth-based performance pay in HISD, as well as their perceptions regarding the overall concept of teacher performance pay. As the ASPIRE Award is being phased out, participants had the opportunity to list one positive aspect of the award model that impacted them as educators. Key findings include: (1) Of the 17,207 Houston Independent School District (HISD) campus-based employees surveyed, there were 2,598 participants who responded to the survey (15.1 percent) administered in February 2017. The response rate is fairly low and the results, while informative, may not be generalized to the population; (2) Support for the program has shown mixed results over the eleven-year period. (3) Although the majority of respondents were in favor or somewhat in favor of the concept of teacher performance pay overall, the percentage of respondents in favor or somewhat in favor toward the specific award model for that year when comparing results over the eleven-year period has ranged from 35.1 percent to 53.3 percent, and is currently at 48.5 percent; (4) Administrators, such as principals and assistant principals/deans of instruction, indicate high to very high levels of understanding about the ASPIRE Award program; and (5) Elective/ancillary teachers rate their level of knowledge of the ASPIRE Award program higher than core foundation teachers (Groups 1-3).
