Motivating Teachers
to attempt Innovation:
    Schools helping
  teachers develop
Maria-Araxi Sachpazian [BA edu/RSA dip/TELF]
Points for discussion
• Why would a school help teachers develop?
      The teachers are not the property of the school.
      They might just go one day....
• How would the school help teachers develop?
     Isn’t that frighfully expensive?
• What does she mean by ‘’motivating teachers to achieve
  innovation’’?
     Can’t they do it for themselves?
The financial crisis and the Greek
     Foreign Language Schools
• Recession breeds fear and insecurity
• Fear and insecurity make businesses stop developing or
  downsize
• Competition takes the form of price dropping
• To make a profit at lowered prices  lower pay for employees
The financial crisis and the Greek
     Foreign Language Schools
• Pay is one of the factors that motivates employees
• It is not replaced by any other form of compensation →Frustration
• Frustration makes teachers stop developing
• Soon schools stop developing or striving for quality
The financial crisis and the Greek
      Foreign Language Schools

• In this light CPD / TQM become a luxury not a necessity




• At the same time, our students think education is a luxury
What inspires teachers to try harder?
• Vision : School / Themeslves
• Higher expectations by managers
• ‘’For the kids’’
• Positive internalisation of the school culture and identity
• MBWA : Being led by example, not by empty talk
• Avoiding pedagogical solitude : Culture of sharing
• Sense of family / Sense of ‘’whole’’
• Autonomy, experimentation, support for failure
What inspires teachers to try harder?
• Personal meaning
Support Teacher Growth=
             Support School Growth
• Teachers’ CPD is the single most contributing factor to the
  longevity of the school
• Teaching should not be viewed as a solitary endeavour
   but as a communal / shared experience
• Therefore, we should engage in goal setting for our school.
               (What are the goals of your school ?)
• Can we set goals for the school without engaging in some
  personal goal setting?
What is Continuous Professional
             Development?
• An endeavour to continue learning and growing professionally
• So, at some point, a teacher’s career can be broken into clearly
  marked sections.
• Each section is characterised by different aspirations,
  responsibilities and means of self-expression.
• CPD leads teachers in deeper engagement with pedagody and
  maximises their chances of offering the best possible learning to
  their students.
Why CPD? I’ve been to University!
Problems with teacher education
a) Education reflects the society it represents. Society evolves
b) Education cannot cover all the bases & prepare teachers for all
   eventualities
c) There are no formal structures to ensure that teachers have the
   chance to relate theory to practice
Making CPD part of the school
                culture
• Do we have a corporate vision for the school?
• How is it articulated & communicated?
• Have teachers been involved in articulating it?
• Is this vision reviewed regularly in relation to the reality of the
  school?
• Are the means of turning this vision into reality reviewed at
  regular intervals?
Making CPD part of the school
          culture

           Change the way we rate the success
           of our school

           •The example we set for others
           •The teacher initiatives taken
           •The presence of our school on the
           Internet / in the ELT field
           •The original teaching ideas
           generated in our schools
Making CPD part of the school
               culture
Observe Teacher Talk at the school:
• Where does it happen?
• What is it about?
• Is there an atmosphere of sharing btw teachers?
• Do teachers goal set? Do they discuss their self-improvement?
• Are there any teacher driven projects at the school?
• How is the staff motivated?
Making CPD part of the school
                culture
Monitor & Appraise
• Observe / Give feedback (Who? How often?)
• Engage teachers in peer observation
• Carry out internal research
• Offer in-service training
Making CPD part of the school
                  culture
Train
• Using online means / webinars
• Attend different sessions at a conference
• Read articles and present them
• Prepare a joint professional presentation at a conference
Making CPD part of the school
                culture
Run meaningful meetings
• Agree on meeting dates and times. State ending time too.
• Create an agenda
• Staff should be encouraged to add points
• Make a point of having a practical and a professional section
• Praising is public. Scolding is private
• Make teachers think as managers: problem-solving
No vision,
No strategy,
can be achieved
   Without able,
   empowered
   EMPLOYEES
Thank you!
