Welcome

The Partnership for Innovation in Compensation for Charter Schools (PICCS) is a comprehensive program designed to recruit, retain, develop and reward top quality teachers and school leaders at charter schools. Led by the Center for Educational Innovation - Public Education Association (CEI-PEA), PICCS is funded through a five-year federal grant from the Teacher Incentive Fund program, which supports development of performance-based compensation systems to drive increases in student performance. Ten New York City public charter schools form the partnership.
