Motivate your
Teachers
Motivated teachers are:
Happier.
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. T
eachers 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 un/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.
