Abstract

In its proposals for a Performance Related Pay (PRP) scheme for teachers the Labour Government has presented appraisal as having a dual role. It is to be used to determine the pay of teachers making reference to quantitative targets; and to facilitate teachers'professional development. This article examines the tensions between these two functions of appraisal.
