Leadership & staff retention: Motivating your teachers (part 3)

Our five-part series on the links between leadership approaches and staff retention and recruitment continues. In part three, Matt Bromley considers how leaders can influence and drive positive teacher motivation

So far in this five-part series, I’ve argued that, if schools are to successfully stymie the crisis in staff recruitment and retention, they need to appoint, recognise and reward “architects” – school leaders who quietly redesign their school and transform the community it serves.

What’s more, our schools need leaders who understand that it takes time to improve a school and so take a long-term view. They need leaders who create the right environment for teachers and the right school for its local community by improving student behaviour, increasing revenue and improving teaching and leadership.
In short, our schools need leaders who take a holistic view of their school, its stakeholders, the community it serves, and its role in society.
