Is there a motivation problem with teachers in your district? If so, you’re not alone. It’s a common problem, particularly once the school year is under way and there are multiple demands on teacher time.
What can we do to maintain high levels of motivation? While many people respond to external pressure to get things done, the most success comes when teachers are intrinsically motivated.
Intrinsic motivation is driven by two foundational elements: People are more motivated when they value what they are doing and when they believe that they will be successful.
