IES teachers’ pay research

The Department for Education (DfE) has commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies (IES), an independent research charity, to collate and assess teachers’, leaders’ and governors’ views on the teacher pay framework. IES are currently looking for 50 teachers to participate in this important research via telephone interviews 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 the main and upper pay ranges and Teaching and Learning Responsibility allowances currently operates in your school. Descriptions on the various structures will be covered in the session.

Please contact karen.patient@employment-studies.co.uk or telephone 01273 763419 to speak to a researcher with any questions you may have and to arrange a convenient time for the telephone interview. Please see the IES Briefing for more details.
