Good Energy is (Your) Strength – A Psychological Perspective on Teacher Motivation
In increasingly complex school situations, the teacher has been and remains an educator, a pedagogue, a motivator and, of course, a role model. The role of the teacher is demanding, the workload is increasing, and the expectations of parents are often unrealistic. Where can I find myself? What is my mission? Why did I choose this profession? What inspires me? In this talk, we will explore areas that we all know but forget about. This talk will:
- help raise awareness of what made us decide to choose this profession;
- help us realise that we come first;
- give us ideas on where to look for inspiration.
