Cut Sick-Pay a Day: An Incentive Plan To Reduce Teacher Absenteeism. A Practicum Report.
White, Nancy A.
An incentive program was developed to reduce teacher absenteeism in a large community high school (2,200 students) in South Florida. The four-point program included improved record-keeping systems, increased communication and information dissemination, internal recognition, and a cash lottery system. Pre- and post-attitudinal tests were administered to teachers and school administrators, and pre- and post-program teacher absentee rates were compared. Findings indicated a 20 percent reduction in absentee rates, improved teacher awareness of personnel policy, and increased administrator support of the new record-keeping system. Extensive appendices contain program correspondence, record-keeping forms, and statistical findings. (18 references) (LMI)
