The challenge of maintaining motivated teachers and staff morale is often a difficult one faced by school leaders on a daily basis. However, within a climate of immense change and reform in education, how leaders meet this challenge can become a critical success factor for their schools.
This Webinar, ‘The Surprising Truth About What Really Motivates Us’, looked closely at the current climate of change in education. Using research on employee motivation, the webinar examined three factors identified by the research in relation to the context of schools, teachers and leaders. Participants were invited to discuss their own experiences and observations around staff morale and motivation and consider potential obstacles in their practices and possible ways to overcome them.
