Increase Teachers’ Motivation at Work
The skills department at Al-Asriyya School seeks to develop students’ artistic and soft skills to enable students to show their creativity in the artistic and vocational education, because this enhances their self-confidence and increase their motivation.
The department need arose from the department’s belief that each teacher is a leader of change by offering opportunities for the teachers of the department to participate in taking daily academic decisions and support them with the necessary tools to make change at the personal level. This will be positively reflected on the development of the educational process in the school.
To increase teachers’ motivation at work and to make them agents of change in their positions, the focus should be on making the teachers self-conscious, have a vision and goal in their lives, help them to possess some developmental skills and provide them with tools to help them grow personally and professionally. This will make the teachers recognize the importance of their role as leaders of change and their influence on the generations they teach to achieve the appropriate educational outcomes.
Based on the main need, which is reflected in the department and school’s vision mentioned above, each teacher chose a special need from his/her position and specialization and work on it following the TAMAM journey. This included schedules for each teacher and then each one implemented his/her own plan.
