Crossing the pay threshold
Description
Fancy raising your salary? Why not cross the pay threshold? The need for evidence, extensive forms, more paperwork, and not enough time - just some of the reasons classroom teachers don't apply. But now it's all got more straightforward, with 90 percent of applicants successful. From September 2009, teachers at the top of the main pay scale will find the process simplified, as crossing the pay threshold now centres on two successful performance management reviews. And the financial reward is worth the effort: more than £2,500 for teachers outside London, considerably more for inner-London teachers.To find out more Mike Baker visits teachers at Prenton High School for Girls in Birkenhead to hear about their experiences of crossing the pay threshold and seeks out advice from teacher career expert Sara Bubb. Meanwhile, the NUT's General Secretary Christine Blower and ATL's Advisor on Pay and Pensions Martin Freedman help explain the process of crossing the pay threshold.
