Abstract	In January 2007, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) inaugurated the Teacher Performance-pay Model, 2005-2006, becoming the first school district in the nation to implement a performance-pay system of this magnitude based on individual teacher effectiveness. The experience gained in the first year and consultations with national experts and teachers provided the impetus for recommending the improvement and enhancement of the model, which became the "Recognize" component of the district's comprehensive education-improvement model, "Accelerating Student Progress: Increasing Results and Expectations" (ASPIRE). The ASPIRE Award has been paid out each January for the prior school year since January of 2008. The most recent ASPIRE Award, for the 2013-2014 school year, was paid out on February 4, 2015. Teachers were given the opportunity to opt out of the ASPIRE Award program, and every HISD teacher meeting ASPIRE Award eligibility requirements had the opportunity to participate in the second and third components of the performance award. Teachers of reading, English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies (the five core foundation subjects) were additionally eligible for either the Individual Performance award or for the Group Performance: Teachers award. Highlights include: (1) For the 2013-2014 ASPIRE Award year, a total of 18,035 campus-based employees were considered; (2) For the 2013-2014 ASPIRE Award year, 5,772 (32.0 percent) of the 18,035 considered employees were paid; (3) In 2013-2014, among core foundation teachers who received some award, amounts ranged from $500 to $13,000, with an average award of $4,924; and (4) The total amount awarded for the 2013-2014 ASPIRE Award was $21,923,198.33, which was an increase of approximately $3,853,631.83 from the prior year due to a higher number of employees who were considered, eligible, and paid.
