TLR
Teaching and Learning Responsibilities. The plan is to  replace Management 
Allowances with TLR payments. The not very helpful official  definition of TLR 
are responsibilities that are 'significant' and  'focused on teaching and 
learning'. 

They will be allocated for  'significant additional teaching and learning 
responsibilities, which are beyond  a teacher's own assigned pupils, are crucial 
to the effective leadership and  management of teaching and learning and are a 
substantial part of the school's  staffing structure.'  
The TLR payment would be drawn from two bands TLR1 with a range  from £6,500 
to £11,000 and TLR2 from £2,250 to £5,500.  
Under the new proposals the TLR payments will be implemented by 31  December 
2006 at the latest.
