In Punished by Rewards, I showed that pay-for-performance plans (incentives, bonuses, merit pay) undermine interest in, & often the quality of, people's work. Now a big 10-yr study shows that stress from p-for-p also increases employees' alcohol/drug use: is.gd/ybeoYa

This actually changed my life last year.
Can't find original, but a principal posted a "link hub" last year, and I made one for my department. Many teachers said it saved so much time over the year!

In class we dove into primary and secondary resources, likening unchecked info to Ariel’s ‘dinglehopper’ mishap! Remember, even #Ai like #chatgpt can err. #criticalthinking is key. Let’s comb thru our info, not hair, with ‘forks’! #transformlearning @rvsed @ralph_mccall

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0
