Teachers remain divided on performance-related pay

Author: Gemma Ware. Interviewed: Thomas Curran, Howard Stevenson and Conor Ryan. A new survey has found teachers remain divided over proposals to link their pay increases to the performance of pupils in their class. A small majority – 53% of 1,163 primary and secondary school teachers polled – supports the idea. The government is extending performance related pay to teachers in the first five years of their career from September 2014. Similar steps were brought in by the Labour government for more senior teachers in 2000. More...

Manager votre seconde partie de carrière

Par LouerUnSenior. La France a subi pendant longtemps le culte du diplôme initial (baccalauréat, master etc .. ). Ce sésame déterminait en bonne partie la carrière professionnelle. Ailleurs à l'image des pays scandinaves, les mentalités sont bien différentes. Tout recommencer après 50 ans, obtenir un nouveau diplôme, évoluer, se réorienter paraît normal. Mais en France, cette idée est encore difficilement rentrée dans les mœurs. Quand un cinquième des salariés suédois sont en formation à plus de 55 ans, c’est à peine un salarié sur 10 en France.

Forget about impact factors – the revolution is upon us!

By Brianne Kent - The Black Hole. Publication in high impact journals often drives both the experiments and the career trajectory of early career researchers. Hardly a day goes by in the lab without somebody lamenting the peer review system or the latest rejection (or acceptance!) in Cell, Science or Nature. It is the source of much consternation and last week the University of Cambridge’s Graduate Student and Postdoc Forum (GRASP) hosted an evening discussion to try and identify a way forward for young researchers to help change the system.

The Professor Is In: The 3 Letters of Recommendation You Must Have

By Karen Kelsky - Chronicle Vitae. I am currently a visiting assistant professor at a regional campus of a state university system. Should I still be including a letter of recommendation from my grad-school advisor in applications? I'm three years out of grad school, and my advisor is great—always updates the letter, takes into account new work I've published, etc—but does it look bad (i.e., too "grad student-y") to rely on an advisor’s letter at this point in my career?
Terrific question. It shows that you are thinking strategically about the market.
The short answer is: Yes, three years out of grad school, it’s fine to have your Ph.D. advisor still write for you. I generally feel that a Ph.D. advisor can safely write for you for about five years, and some people have their advisors write for much longer than that. See more...

Church and Tenure

By Scott Jaschik. The Kentucky Supreme Court has issued two unanimous decisions that strengthen the rights of tenured professors at religious institutions.
In one decision the court found that the "ministerial exception" -- which protects churches and some religious groups from some types of employment lawsuits -- does not bar suits over contractual matters such as tenure agreements that can be resolved based on evidence having nothing to do religious doctrine.

Colleges Urged to Count Patents in Tenure Reviews

Universities should begin making patents and other industrial and commercial research count toward promotion and tenure, in an effort to stimulate such research nationwide, argues a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal. "There is a fundamental disconnect between technology transfer activities and incentives for faculty members in terms of merit raises, tenure and career advancement," Richard B. Marchase, co-author and vice president for research and economic development at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said in a news release. Read more...
