  15. Over-Riding Themes

  16. Teachers Responded… A desire for praise was a predominant theme. The faculty expressed a desire for specific, personal praise, rather than general, whole-school praise. The WOW initiative seems to be helping with this.

  17. Increasing Motivation • Jeans passes. • Personal notes. • Acknowledgment of Staff accomplishments and efforts in a variety of ways. • Continued learning and leadership opportunities. • Recognition of what students have accomplished. • Afterschool get togethers. A very high number of administrators COMPLETELY agreed that emphasizing the positive and being an active listener increases motivation in their school building. HOWEVER, lack of administrative and parental support, stress and feeling micromanaged affected teacher’s motivation negatively.

  18. Extrinsic Motivation • Praise • Monetary Rewards • Good Evaluations Almost 70% of administrators COMPLETELY agreed that praise was an extrinsic motivation of teachers at their school, and that about one-third of teachers were looking for monetary rewards as motivation.

  19. How can we, as administrators, help our teachers from feeling overwhelmed with extra initiatives and a focus on data, which have affected the climate of the school?

  20. We asked administrators what factors do you notice affect teachers’ motivation negatively? • Overwhelmed • Too much being piled on • Expectations This negative motivation factor theme was echoed when we asked teachers to think about what they notice affects their motivation.

  21. Here’s what the administrators said: • “Stress, lack of administrative and parental support, emphasis on data and scores affects teachers’ motivation negatively. • “Feeling micromanaged.”

  22. Who do you feel holds the primary responsibility of motivating staff members? • Most teachers felt that it starts with administration. • A large percentage felt all staff helps with motivation. • A small percentage felt that you hold the responsibility yourself.

  23. Positive Over-Riding Themes Across Schools • Praise – specific and individualized • Recognition for hard work and student success • Feeling appreciated • Student success

  24. Negative Over-Riding Themes Across Schools • Time: not enough, not valued • Too many meetings and initiatives, not enough time to implement it all • Lack of communication • Feeling unsupported by administration

  25. How Motivation Can Be Increased (What Works) • Being positive • Supporting faculty • Being there as part of the team • Recognition

  26. Most Successful Staff Motivational Tool • Gift of Time • Jeans Days • Showing that time is valued (work from home work days) • Positive and personalized notes from administration about performance
