How to Solve Morale Problems
What do you do when staff morale begins to slip? Well, if you are a leader, you look for an inspirational video to play at your next staff meeting, a PD activity you can quickly put together (trust falls anyone?), or a cool gift you can leave in teachers’ mail boxes (“Oh look! It’s an ice scraper with our school logo! I’ve always wanted one of those.”). But we all know that those things don’t work. For one, they can come off as manipulative and disingenuous. For another, they offer a bandaid at best for a much deeper and more nuanced problem.
