Wouldn't this just make all teachers grade generously since they all are dependent on each other for their bonuses? If I am grading Ms. Summers' class and her bonus is dependent on how I grade, I would be inclined to grade very generously so that she gets her bonus.

1. use multiple choice tests which have no ambiguity in grading

2. put a unique number on each test. Pass them out randomly to teachers in the district to grade. They won't know who the student is nor who his teacher is, nor will the teacher know who graded it. I.e. a double-blind system.

3. have administrators grade them, or an outside consultant, etc.
