This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Review Body was asked to consider two issues: payment for teachers earning £21,000 or less, in the context of the two-year public sector pay freeze that will affect teachers from September 2011; and whether there should be a limit on the value of the discretionary payments that can be applied to head teachers' pay, and if so, what it should be and how it should be applied. The only teachers whose full-time equivalent pay is £21,000 or less are some of those on the unqualified teacher scale. The Department for Education proposed a non-consolidated payment of £250. The Review Body concludes that the non-consolidated payment of £250 in both years is appropriate for all full-time unqualified teachers, with pro-rata payments for those working part-time. Remuneration for head teachers is a crucial issue, and the Review Body concludes that the case has been made in principle for a limit to be put in place, and that effective governance is key to ensuring appropriate reward whilst maintaining proper oversight of public funds. There should be a 'base' Individual School Range (ISR) for a head teacher described in the School Teachers Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD). Any discretion above 'base' ISR pay must be clearly justified and should not exceed the limit of 25% above the individual's point on their 'base' ISR in any given year. The Department should redraft the STPCD to give effect to the recommendations and to draw together all existing discretions as they impact on head teachers.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 18th report from the School Teachers' Review Body (Cm. 7546, ISBN 9780101754620), which is an independent body established in 1991 to examine and report on such matters relating to the statutory conditions of employment of school teachers in England and Wales to the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Education. Tne report is divided into 6 chapters with 4 appendices. The Review Body has set out a number of recommendations, including: that teachers' pay be increased by 2.3% from 1 September 2009 pending the outcome of a review in June 2009; that there be an adjustment to the main and upper pay scale for inner London (as proposed in the 17th Report: Part One, Cm.7252, ISBN 9780101725224), of £26,000 for teachers in Band A, with consequential adjustments to the main pay scale from September 2009. In respect of teachers' professional responsibilities and conditions of employment, the Review Body recommends, that: the Department consult all interested parties on the Review Body's draft statement of purposes and professional responsibilities; that the Department should re-structure the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD, ISBN 9780112711988) to make it more coherent and user-friendly; that the Department should investigate long working hours for teachers and head teachers. There are also recommendations in respect of leadership in schools, special educational needs allowances and excellent teachers.

Download or read book Independent Review of Police Officer and Staff Remuneration and Conditions final report written by Thomas P. Winsor and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Review has established that the police service is currently ill-equipped to respond to possible and probable changes in increasingly specialised crime trends, political accountability, financial resources and the demographics of its workforce. This report covers reforms that may be introduced in the longer term. An earlier report on reforms that could be introduced in the short term published in March 2011 (Cm. 8024, ISBN 9780101802420) and made recommendations for savings of £1.1 billion over 3 years, most of which are being implemented following a determination of the Police Arbitration Panel. This report makes recommendations which could realise gross savings of £1.9 billion with £1.2 billion reinvested in policing. The 121 recommendations cover: employment framework, entry route and promotion; health, fitness and managing the workforce; basic pay, contribution-related pay and role-based pay; negotiating machinery. Each chapter contains a recommended phased process for introduction. The recommendations will provide the police service with the ability to attract and retain high calibre candidates with different skills and experiences, to maintain operational resilience by maximising the deployment of fit and healthy officers, and to manage office numbers according to need and in the public interest. Entry into the police service and advancement within would be according to the sole criterion of merit. The recommendations for reform of the pay review apparatus will have a profound effect, establishing a well-resourced professional pay review body ensuring that officers' pay is determined on sound evidence.

Download or read book Resilient Teachers Resilient Schools written by Christopher Day and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unpicks the complex, dynamic blend of individuals’ psychological and professional assets, workplace conditions and leadership support which enable teachers who stay in teaching to continue to make a difference in their careers, regardless of shifts in policy, workplace, professional and personal circumstances. Whilst much has been written over the years about teacher stress and burnout, there is very little research which reports on the conditions which are essential for teachers to sustain their commitment and effectiveness over their professional lives, in contexts of challenge and change. Drawing upon a range of educational, psychological, socio-cultural and neuro-scientific research, together with vivid accounts from teachers in a variety of primary and secondary schools internationally, and from their own research on teachers’ work and identities, the authors discuss the dynamic nature, forms and practices of teacher resilience. They argue that resilience in teachers is not only their ability to bounce back in extremely adverse circumstances but that it is the capacity of teachers for everyday resilience which enables them to sustain their commitment and effectiveness in responding positively to the unavoidable uncertainties inherent of their professional lives. The authors conclude that resilience in teachers can be nurtured by the intellectual, social and organisational environments in which teachers work and live, rather than being simply a personal attribute or trait, determined by nature. Resilient Teachers, Resilient Schools will be of key interest to policy makers, head teachers, teachers and training and development organisations who wish to improve quality and standards in schools.

This book was released on 2013-06-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 22nd report the Review Body was asked to consider how to apply teachers' pay the Government's "average 1 percent" pay uplift policy which applies across the public sector. This remit follows a two year pay freeze and the Government has made clear there will be two further years of pay restraint for the public sector as a whole.In light of the Review Body's 21st report the Education Department published advice to schools on revising their approach to pay. September 2013 will be the last time annual pay increments will be awarded to teachers based on length of service. Thereafter schools will be free to make individual progression decisions based on appraisal with points retained for reference only on the main pay scale. The Department has said there was no additional funding for schools to cover the 2013 pay award. In the area of recruitment and retention the Body suggested there were some emerging areas of concern, including competitive pressures, especially in urban areas. The Review Body has given particular weight to the need for simplicity so schools can concentrate on preparing for implementation of proposals in the last report, and also the need to provide some underpinning support for the teacher labour market as a whole. They recommend an increase of 1 percent from September 2013

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 80% of primary aged children have been on a diet. 75% of 10- to 11-year-olds would like to change their appearance. Children as young as 6 are worrying about their shape and size. Body image is an important aspect of children’s self-esteem and confidence. Unfortunately, many young children are suffering from anxieties about their appearance, which has a harmful effect on their overall mental health and wellbeing.

Download or read book School Teachers Review Body Twenty first Report 2012 written by School Teachers' Review Body and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-12-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Review Body was asked to consider wide ranging changes to the teacher pay framework, focusing on three issues: market facing pay; more effectively linking pay progression and performance; and wider reforms to support the recruitment and retention of high quality teachers. The package of recommendations propose: (i) a pay framework that seeks to raise the status of the profession, support professional development and reward individuals in line with their contribution to improving pupil outcomes; (ii) greater autonomy for schools to set teachers pay, and (iii) recognised career stages for teachers alongside increased accountability for high professional standards and contribution to pupil progress. These changes are designed to encourage high calibre graduates and career changers to come into teaching and to help schools facing the greatest challenges. They are also intended to enable existing teachers to develop and improve their teaching skills. Among the key recommendations for change are: replacement of increments based on length of service by differentiated progression through the main scale to reward excellence and performance improvement; extension to all teachers of pay progression linked to annual appraisal (already established for senior teachers); abolition of mandatory pay points with the pay scales for classroom teachers to enable individual pay decisions but retaining present of points for reference only in the main scale to guide career expectations for entrants; retention of a broad national framework; local flexibility to pay salaries above the upper pay scale; more discretion in the use of allowances; a simplified pay and conditions document.

Download or read book Democracy Deliberation and Education written by Robert Asen and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The local school board is one of America’s enduring venues of lay democracy at work. In Democracy, Deliberation, and Education, Robert Asen takes the pulse of this democratic exemplar through an in-depth study of three local school boards in Wisconsin. In so doing, Asen identifies the broader democratic ideal in the most parochial of American settings. Conducted over two years across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines, Asen’s research reveals as much about the possibilities and pitfalls of local democracy as it does about educational policy. From issues as old as racial integration and as contemporary as the recognition of the Gay-Straight Alliance in high schools, Democracy, Deliberation, and Education illustrates how ordinary folks build and sustain their vision for a community and its future through consequential public decision making. For all the research on school boards conducted in recent years, no other project so directly addresses school boards as deliberative policymaking bodies. Democracy, Deliberation, and Education draws from 250 school-board meetings and 31 interviews with board members and administrators to offer insight into participants’ varied understandings of their roles in the complex mechanism of governance.
