Episode 67: The Surprising Truth About What Really Motivates Your Teachers
Why do people do what they do?
What drives behavior?
Why do some people train for a marathon for a year and then run it?
Why do some people go to jobs that they hate, year after year for 50 years?
Why do some people, in the same organization, work really hard, while others do as little as possible?
Why do people do what they do?
One word: motivation.
During the industrial age, people were motivated by the model of the carrot (reward the behavior that you want) and the stick (punish the behavior you don’t want).
We now live in the information age. Our teachers have very complex jobs that require emotional intelligence, juggling multiple priorities and creative problem solving.
Carrots and sticks no longer cut it.
- You want your teachers to be highly motivated.
- You want your teachers to look forward to coming to school and then work hard every day.
- You want your teachers to love their jobs and find fulfillment and meaning so that they will keep coming back to your school year after year.
