Do we have good heads in our schools?

The way a school head motivates teachers influence the way teachers motivate students. This in turn influences the way students motivate themselves.Rea (1997).
The quality of the leadership makes or breaks the school.So do we have good heads in our schools??

How to motivate teachers

Teachers need to be inspired and keep their morale high in order to provide the best instruction.

Most of the time, it's the teachers who motivate students to do their best in the classroom, but there are times when teachers also need to be motivated.

Tips to motivate teachers

Smile frequently and genuinely.

Ask how they are doing, and listen to the answers you get.

Hold meetings only when absolutely necessary.

Create an atmosphere of trust through small gestures, and never make it seem like you're trying to catch your staff doing something wrong.

Compliment your teachers in writing after a classroom walk-through and in public as often as possible.

ALWAYS have your teacher's back when a parent makes a complaint. Reprimand the teacher privately if needed, but create a united front to outsiders.

Create opportunities for them to attend voluntary training in areas they find interesting.

Acknowledge that they are doing a good job, and suggest on how they can do even better.

Happy Teachers' Day

What matters most?The school a child attends OR the classroom they are placed in?
