I enjoyed discussing motivation of personnel in education. I find it very foreign, but understand that there are some unmotivated teachers in our schools accross our country. I feel blessed that I work with teachers that are highly motivated to provide the best educational experience for our students at my school. In order to understand the unmotivated teachers, we need to understand why they became unmotivated, and what satisfaction teachers get out of their jobs. I enjoyed thinking about my personal motivation, and confirmed that I truly enjoy what I am doing, and am consistantly looking for ways to becoming more effecient at my job, just like all students in this class. Administrators must be able to identify the characteristics in motivated potential employees in order to create a positive atmosphere in their schools. This is a tough job. There are many common factors that tempt teachers to leave the profession. A problem that our schools are dealing with is attracting the best an brightest to become teachers.
