Abstract

This article draws on data from our recent research project The Impact of Performance Threshold Assessment the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC R000239286) for two years from May 2001. Within its wider context of performance management we focused on Threshold Assessment, employing a range of methods to identify policy sources, track the processes of development and implementation and analyse the impact and significance of Threshold in relation to: individual and particular cohorts of teachers; their cultures; their work and the institutional consequences for schools (Mahony, Menter, and Hextall 2003). This article considers some of the impacts on teachers, drawing mainly on the 70 interviews with staff in nine case-study schools.
