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
collection of teachers and headteachers. Their discoveries are
presented in this lively 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 schemes: *
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 did teachers change and 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.

One of the most important challenges teachers face is making sure
children can read. It is an absolutely crucial skill, and current
educational policy is giving it a very high priority. Based on one
of the largest studies ever undertaken of what primary schools do
to improve literacy, this book reports what Professor Ted Wragg and
his research team found. The importance placed on literacy has
never been greater. When children learn to read, they are laying
the foundations for their entire educational future. Effective
teachers can make a huge difference, as a poor start can hinder
children throughout their schooling and beyond. By looking at what
actually goes on in classrooms, this volume provides an invaluable
insight into what happens to children and how their reading
progresses. It shows how particular teachers manage the improvement
of their pupils' reading levels, and also follows individual pupils
through a school year. This is a very readbale account of a
fascinating and crucial area of research that is highly topical.
Every class teacher should read it.
