The first widespread incentive pay scheme was initiated in UK schools in 2000. This book is the result of monitoring the whole process from its inception. The authors visited schools, observed lessons, and solicited the views and experiences of a large sample of teachers and headteachers and what they discovered is presented in this new book. They include the views of teachers who were successful in crossing the threshold, those who weren't and those who chose not to apply, and headteachers who had to make the decisions. The book focuses on the following themes:

Headteachers' experiences of training

The outcomes in their own school

Their relationship with external assessors

Their hopes and fears for the future

Their assessment of the influence on classroom practice

What teachers changed and did not change in their teaching as a result of performance management

What means they employed to further their own professional development. This timely book is a useful resource for anyone

involved in education, whether it be a classroom teacher, headteacher, administrator or policy maker.

Reviews for Performance Pay for Teachers

Times Educational Supplement Book of the Week: 'this survey, sharply focused on the realities of schools and teaching and rich with glimpses of good (and occasionally spectacularly bad) practice, is much more than merely interesting reading. It's comprehensive, balanced and persuasive: a significant contribution to an important, indeed urgent, debate.' - Michael Duffy, Times Educational Supplement 'The book provides an extremely rich source of information on the views of teachers and headteachers toward performance related pay ... [it] is both an accessible and interesting read that will be informative for both teachers and policy makers.' - NUT Education Review
