This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Review Body considers wide-ranging changes to the teacher pay framework, focussing on three issues: pay for the leadership group; allowances and safeguarding; and non-pay conditions. The report builds on principles set out in its 21st Report on pay for classroom teachers: increased autonomy for schools to respond to local circumstances within a broad national framework; appropriate reward allied to accountability; and simplification of the existing pay system so governing bodies can use it effectively and with confidence. School-led improvement is creating a variety of new roles, including leadership of multiple schools; and encouraging wider collaboration to spread best practice. The impact of academies is beginning to shape the market for able leaders. The recommendations in this report: (a) provide a clear and usable framework for setting the pay of school leaders, enabling governing bodies to match pay to accountabilities and the local needs of the school as well as offering appropriate reward to high quality leaders who are so crucial to raising standards; (b) provide greater freedom in setting the level of Teaching and Learning Responsibility payments; whilst retaining the main allowances used by schools and the existing safeguarding provisions; (c) remove unnecessary detailed guidance on non-pay conditions whilst retaining the core statutory protections on teachers' working hours and time for planning, preparation and assessment. These proposals will enable substantial simplification of the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document so it provides an accessible handbook for governing bodies, leadership teams and teachers to exercise professional judgement at local level.

Download or read book School Teachers Review Body twentieth report 2011 written by School Teachers' Review Body and published by The Stationery Office. 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 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.

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.

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

Download or read book The Managerial School written by Sharon Gewirtz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between welfare and the state has undergone a sustained process of reconfiguration over the past two decades and managerialism has played a key role in this process. In education, parents are now seen as consumers and schools as small businesses, their income dependent on their success in attracting customers within competitive local 'markets'. At the same time, management practices borrowed from business, such as target setting and performance monitoring, now play a key role in regulating schools. What kinds of schools are the reforms producing? What impact are they having on school culture and values? What are the social justice implications of applying a business model to the provision of schooling? In The Managerial School Sharon Gerwirtz draws on in-depth interviews with teachers in a range of secondary schools and close observation of school practices to try to answer these questions.Through a comparison of Conservative and New Labour policies, she argues that New Labour's 'third way' for education is a contradictory mix of neo-liberal, authoritarian and humanistic strands that is not in any real sense a new educational settlement. This empirically based account of over a decade of education reform offers a unique insight into the effects of managerialism on schools and a hard-hitting analysis of the inherent tensions in a system that undoubtedly perpetrates social injustice.

Download or read book Education Law and Diversity written by Neville Harris and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is fundamentally concerned with realising the potential of every child, but an increasing social diversity presents enormous challenges for the state in terms of its commitment to providing an appropriate education for all. Factors such as ethnicity, disability and material deprivation are associated with inequality, social exclusion and the risk of low educational attainment. Diversity also reflects divergent cultural values and norms. In responding to the challenges posed by diversity, public education authorities are to some extent constrained by individual or group rights. This book examines the nature of these rights, including those under the European Convention on Human Rights, and the ways and contexts in which they operate. Their social effects are also considered. Areas discussed include the curriculum, special educational needs and choice of school. A key theme in the book is the promotion and enforcement of equal access to education, including higher education. Issues of multiculturalism, the social integration of minorities, religion in education and the recognition of children's independent rights are among those that are also discussed. The book centres on England and Wales and covers the evolving legislative framework, including the Education and Inspections Bill 2006, but relevant legal developments in other states are also highlighted.
