As a western country with developed education, UK has carried out a series of reform concerning the school-based teacher management since 1980s and gained a great achievement. This thesis aims to give a second thinking of promoting the managing methods in Chinese elementary and secondary schools with principal responsibility system by the study on the effective strategies and experiences of UK school-based teacher management. The school-based teacher management in China has hardly been in practice and most of its strategies are limited in explanation, leaving large room to be studied on how to practice the school-based teacher management. Therefore, it is greatly suggestive and significant to analyze the basic idea and modes of the UK school-based teacher management theoretically and do some research on its practical performing mechanism.The dissertation has five parts:The Preface gives a brief introduction of the background of the given issue, its significance and the study methods.
