To Beat the Teacher Shortage, Look to What Motivates Educators
Motivating employees means recognizing their achievements, offering intrinsically rewarding work, and granting them greater responsibility and the ability to advance and grow. Much of this is lacking from traditional teacher jobs today.
Teacher shortages are mounting in certain districts and in certain subjects.
Across 100 large urban districts, 61 report instructional staffing shortages, according to the Center for Reinventing Public Education.
A lack of substitutes and a long decline in the pipeline of new teachers are making it harder for schools to cope. The ratio of hires to job openings in the education sector is at a new low of 0.57, according to the National Education Association.
