📣 Hey teachers and students, be on the look out for Librarian Amy M. and her outreach crew at your school in the coming days and weeks. The crew is spreading the word about our Summer Reading Program, which begins in June. Be sure to say hi when you see them!
And we wonder why no one wants to become a teacher:
*Having no voice even as an expert
*Working excessive hours unpaid
*Limited resources
*Navigating bureaucratic hurdles
*Dealing w/ disruptive behavior
*Lack of respect/recognition
*Unrealistic expectations
*Burnout
Whoever told leaders that adults don't need praise or recognition for a job well done never truly understood effective leadership or human nature. Recognition and appreciation are the keystones to building a motivated, loyal, and high-performing team!
Teachers who receive regular recognition & appreciation are:
* More productive
* More engaged in school
* More likely to stay with school
* More likely to receive higher satisfaction scores from students & parents
* View school culture more positively
Yes, Appreciation matters!
