The Wall Street Journal reports today that President Obama will announce his support for merit pay for teachers:

The merit pay proposal would significantly expand a federal program that increases pay for high-performing teachers to an additional 150 school districts, officials said. “What he’ll be calling for…is to reward good teachers that are improving student outcomes,” said one official.

Look for major pushback from the teachers’ unions, along with sighs of relief from reformers like Michelle Rhee.
