Administrators, Give Teachers a Win
Teachers often feel overwhelmed and like they are not doing enough due to the constant influx of professional development, books, articles, and media catering to teachers. This overload can drain motivation and make them feel inadequate. Administrators have a crucial role in providing specific positive feedback to teachers to counteract this. By choosing 10 teachers on their staff and giving each one specific compliments based on areas such as relationships with students, decision-making, clarity in delivery, classroom management and logistics, lesson planning, and design, administrators can boost teacher morale, motivation, and confidence. The process is simple, free, and takes little time, but the impact can be significant.
