[senco-forum] ASTs and TLRs

Someone off-line just referred to having to do pesky AST assessments. As  I'm 
not a working teacher, I looked up this acronym on teacher net., and find it  
means "Advanced Skills Teachers" pay. And having recently learnt (from the  
forum) thet TLRs mean "Teaching and Learning Responsibility" payments -- I'm  
left feeling glad to have retired. I was confused enough starting out as a 
scale  2 assistant teacher with responsibility points, and onto deputy 
headteacher. All  I have to concern myself with now is an indexed linked, half actual 
pay,  pension. I really feel lucky. Brendan
