Increasing students performance is very important but if we focus only on this then we lose sight of why we choose to be educators. We always want our kids to do there best but if performance is the key to a teacher's pay then it becomes nothing more than a sales job. We need to take all the variables into consideration in order to actually promote some kind of performance based incentive.
