Teacher Motivation

Promotes Student Success

Studies have shown that teacher motivation is a contributing factor to higher student achievement. Does your staff development program motivate your teachers?

A Key to Academic Success

Teacher motivation was identified more than 25 years ago as being critical to the academic success of students. Over the past few decades, the teaching profession has changed dramatically. Without adequate staff development and support, more and more teachers and principals are abandoning the profession. Support systems must be in place to help teachers and principals succeed.

Many factors impact teacher motivation and morale.

They include:

• school environment
• district and school culture
• administrative support
• parental support
• workplace stress
• student effort
• student behavior
• general working conditions
