Motivate your Teachers
Motivated teachers are:
- Happier.
- More confident.
- Better able to consistently carry out work that will lead to the desired behavior in students.
Motivating teachers to power through the tough times is
essential to
your school's success. Among a superintendent's many responsibilities
is the incredibly important task of encouraging and
building up their
teachers so that they can face and overcome any
obstacle they
encounter. The best way to make good teachers stay is to
provide the
support and motivation they need to do their job, and it's easy to tell
your educators that they have your full support.
Being a teacher in the modern educational world is an exceptionally
challenging task. Beyond the daily teaching and grading routine, educators
also work to manage student behaviors, family issues, teaching
pressure,
and many other difficult issues.
Therefore, it is my duty to support and motivate their
teaching staff as
motivated teachers create an engaging and
collaborative environment for
students to learn.
Many ways to Motivate My Teachers
1- I offer Praise
Although
some people prefer to be praised in private, for many others,
public
acknowledgment has a more profound effect. This affirmation
shared with
peers or the public indicates that I notice and support
their
performance enough that you want to share their talents as an
exemplar
to others.
2- I encourage Teachers to Motivate Each Other
Even in a smaller school, I can't be everywhere at once. Teachers see
and hear things that I don't. So, I get them involved in developing
their own activities to motivate and reward colleagues for a
job well
done. I implement a "Teacher of the Month" system where teachers
vote for one colleague who has gone above and beyond.
I implement a pay-it-forward system where I celebrate one teacher
for his efforts, then that teacher selects another teacher to honor
the next month.
3. I must be available for my teachers of English
4. I create a compelling reward program for teachers
When developing reward programs for my student body, I do not
forget to
design an equally exceptional reward program for your
educators. While a more appreciable school environment permits teachers
to carry out
their tasks with joyful efficiency, scooping up some fantastic
rewards
along the way can truly motivate your teachers. Plus, it’s fun
and
encourages participation!
5. In Egypt, I listen to my teacher’s concerns
Apart
from appreciating tangible accomplishments, I ensure that I
listen to my teacher’s feedback and concerns. Although this is
always an
important responsibility, it is particularly necessary
when I am implementing a new initiative.
New initiatives involve demand
extra effort as it often means a new way of
performing work. There may
be opposition or disgruntlement moving forward
with something new.
Recognizing my teachers’ viewpoints is encouraging because it allows them
to know their voices are heard and contributing to a collaborative and trusting
work atmosphere. I acknowledge when teachers make good points and
take the time to fully explain how a new initiative will improve student
growth or make their own jobs easier.
6- I uplift my teachers' ideas
I create
a platform for educators to share their innovative ideas and
celebrate
them. Teachers have enormous expertise and diverse
perspectives.
Providing a platform for them to share with others not
only validates
and supports their work, but it also provides others
with learning
opportunities.
While it is understandable that not all ideas will be feasible,
others can prove revolutionary to both students and
other instructors
Supporting and integrating their ideas will
motivate teachers to think
outside of the box and improve the entire
educational process.
7- I include Teachers in Strategic Planning
As an education boss, It's a good idea to keep teachers in
the
loop about what's going on at the district level, especially if
there
are a lot of new policies coming to a vote that will affect them
later on.
In some cases, they may have seen news coverage about
controversial issues, which makes it even more important to include
them
in school-level discussions when possible.
And, in some cases, it's a good idea to encourage them
to speak up
and make their voices heard with the local school board. If
there is an
issue that can't be addressed at the school level, there's
nothing
wrong with helping my teachers advocate for themselves and
their
students. In fact, a good superintendent or a supervisor of English
can guide their advocacy in a
way that's reasonable and respectful.
8- Schedule fun events on the teacher's calendar
Although the school environment can be a highly social place,
teachers who have
large workloads or spend a lot of time preparing
lessons and activities
may feel isolated.
Team-building social events with your teaching staff can allow
teachers to enjoy each other while ultimately
creating deeper
relationships and rapport with their coworkers.
Many
communities have businesses that cater to group social
activities,
offering activities such as painting, pottery, or cooking.
Leadership
development (or ropes) courses, rock climbing, or a
run/walk event can
be fun while building health and a family
atmosphere.
Even a
simple holiday party provides teachers a chance to de-stress
with
recreation. When people like each other, their work performance
and planning sessions improve.
9- I create a Mentoring Program
As a good inspector or a secondary supervisor of English at a
school for adults, I stay abreast of the latest
educational theories
and practices and then share them with their teachers in a way
that's helpful and practical to implement. In some
cases, I may
look for ways to mentor teachers one-on-one. However,
it's probably
more practical to work with small groups, such as during
teacher staff
meetings or in short exchanges with the various
departments in your
school.
That being said, you don't have to lead
after-school seminars about
educational theory or spend hours pouring over the latest publications.
I work smarter, not
harder. I remember those newer teachers in my
school. They've probably
just come from university classrooms where
they were introduced to
educational theories my veteran teachers
may not be as familiar with. I tap those newcomers to share their
knowledge with their colleagues
during a staff meeting.
10- I give my teachers time.
One of the best ways I can motivate my teachers is by showing
them that I respect their time during and after school. If I can avoid
scheduling meetings or professional development workshops
during
report card or final exam weeks, my teachers will appreciate my
respect for them and feel less stress about all that they need to
accomplish. I don't pile on extra paperwork during standardized
testing week. I recognize that there are just certain times
of the
school year that are stressful.
Time
is often a stress or and free time is usually scarce. I find ways to
provide my teachers extra time for their work or to take a well-needed
break.
At the end of every semester, I could offer every
educator a voucher for one
morning or afternoon day off. For this, I
need to arrange a substitute for
teachers for their requested time.
11- Identify periods of key stress
There are many time periods throughout the school year that carry
a larger
work burden for your teaching staff. I am cognizant of those
times and
avoid adding unnecessary work during those situations.
For example, I do not overload my teaching staff with other work
during
report card season! Also, it is better not to implement new
initiatives at the end of the school term, major exam periods, or
during student
essays.
12- Empower each teacher’s strengths
Every
educator has strengths and areas of opportunity. When
teachers are given autonomy to utilize their teaching strengths in
their classes, students become immersed and motivated in learning.
Sometimes, it
is challenging for educators to identify their strengths.
Administrators
can motivate and support teachers by helping them
make these
discoveries. Observe and reflect with your teachers
about any strategies that worked well and any means or methods
that the teacher enjoys, such
as combining music into a lesson.
A "one-size fits all”
approach does not work for students, and it
certainly does not work for
teachers. Having overly rigid teaching
requirements that limit autonomy
and individual strengths can limit
teacher and student success.
I empower every teacher with the ability to enjoy their subject,
as their unique passions will motivate students as well.
13- I encourage collaboration
Collaboration is a great way to introduce teachers to new
techniques
and teaching methods and give them the opportunity to praise and
ask for advice from other teachers. I create routine
meetings for
teachers to attend or encourage teachers to visit other classrooms
to evaluate methods in person. Doing so could help my teachers
learn new ways to lower their stress, discover efficient grading
methods
and gain insight into how to display information.
