Performance management has emerged as one of the dominant themes in education systems today. A greater emphasis is now being placed on the performance of the individual teacher. This trend has led to a new regime of inspection, monitoring and reporting, which runs counter to many perceptions of professional accountability.

Performance Management in Schools is designed to be informative and supportive but also to raise issues and concerns about performance management. Organised into three parts, this book covers:

• the theory and practice of managing performance in schools
• a series of case studies in which a wide range of effective practice is described
• comparisons between four international perspectives.

This practical book provides reassurance and support to all those responsible for performance management in schools; it serves as a resource for those studying the many aspects of school improvement and also contributes to the debate on how best to sustain the professionalism and commitment of teachers.
