The DfE has commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies (IES), an independent research charity, to collate and assess the views of teachers, leaders and those governing on the teacher pay framework. IES is looking for another nine governors/trustees to participate in this important research via two online focus group sessions at a time convenient to you. Your responses will be treated confidentially and anonymised at all times. The findings of the project, to be delivered to the DfE in September 2018, will help to inform any future proposed changes to optimise the existing teachers’ pay framework.
IES will be exploring views on how the pay framework, including features such as Teaching and Learning Responsibility allowances, currently operates in your school over the course of an hour long session. Descriptions on the various structures will be covered in the session. IES would like to offer you £25, to thank you for your time in taking part in the research.
Please contact: joanne.doherty@employment-studies.co.uk or call 01273 763419 to speak to a researcher with any questions you may have and to arrange a convenient time for the online focus group.
