Mike Baker talks to the TDA's head of re-modelling Stephen Baker about how he sees the future of performance management and re-modelling as we enter a time of financial uncertainty. We also hear from senior trade unionists, some of whom signed up to the tenets of the workforce agreement in 2003 and some who didn't, to find out whether they think that the agreement is working and how it should be developed in future. We visit a secondary school that has traditionally been short of money to find out how they have financed their obligations towards their staff in terms of PPA time and cover, and asked ordinary teachers about how the workforce agreement is working, and whether they believe PPA time should be made a statutory requirement as suggested by Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Family, Ed Balls. Finally we find out what re-modelling means for teachers tasked with educating children in our schools.
