Thinking and feeling - teachers need to do both
Teaching is a highly emotional craft, loaded with possibility and expectation, importance and scale. Teacher morale is a by-product of being treated as leaders and being treated with respect. Teacher morale is the end product of empowering teachers to make decisions that affect their lives. Teachers report that already low estimates on teacher morale are continuing to plummet . The number of teachers taking stress leave is increasing every year.
Staff wellbeing which includes morale – may not be an exact science. But there is a strategic approach which can help to secure staff goodwill in a school that can improve outcomes significantly. Hundreds of schools throughout Australia are now taking staff wellbeing seriously, and most can report significant outcomes.
The job of the school's leadership is to create an environment where staff work most effectively with the most desired outcomes for students. This will enable the highest levels of job satisfaction and the most appropriate environment for everyone.
Schools can take active steps to monitor and develop morale. Pupil wellbeing and attainment as well as your school’s performance depends largely on your wellbeing and that of your staff. Yet, in a recent health report of education professionals, 84% said they had suffered from some form of mental health problem in the last 2 years.
