Motivation For Teachers

Those who choose to go into education as a career often do not just fall into the job. They have to spend years in college, do their internship, and then more often than not spend the first year or half-year as an assistant. Most teachers go in with their eyes wide open to the challenges of educating today's children. Many people who start off on the path of becoming a teacher discover they are not up to the challenge and go on to pursue other paths. The process of becoming a well educated certified teacher is a long one and the pay at the end is not in balance with the work. This does not mean that the job is without rewards, and the best teachers strive to help their students become successful members of society by teaching beyond the curriculum.

Teachers are the unsung heroes of today. The good news is that there are a lot out there, working hard to do their best and doing everything they can to learn new skills and methodologies to add to their tool-set when they reenter their classroom each time. Many of these teachers work together in teacher groups. 

​

There are many teacher groups and meet-up groups for teachers who want to exchange ideas to avoid the common pitfalls that diminishes student learning and present proven methods for teaching students. A teacher group or meet-up group for teachers is also a great way for teachers to get support from one another and to get feedback from their peers.
