#UkEdChat A1 a) political interference and lack of trust (b peer pressure as they get older

_theteachr Dec 22 @ 3:06 PM EST

#UkEdChat Q1 communication between SLT and staff

#UKEdChat Understood. What are the greatest challenges there? A lack of communication?

In reply to @dazmileham

SnakeyChalmers Dec 22 @ 3:10 PM EST

To flip it, Headteachers have responsibility to remove constraints of curriculum to allow any barriers to be overcome #ukedchat

In reply to @ukedchat

basnettj Dec 22 @ 3:10 PM EST

A1 a) lack of ability by SLT to understand the job we do #UKEdChat

In reply to @ukedchat

ukedchat - Moderator Dec 22 @ 3:11 PM EST

#UKEdChat - Q2. Is there a group of students, in your experience, who seem more difficult to motivate? How do you manage this?

dazmileham Dec 22 @ 3:11 PM EST

#UKEdChat absolute lack of communication, staff left bewildered and lacking focus

In reply to @ukedchat

ukedchat - Moderator Dec 22 @ 3:11 PM EST

Yes #UKEdChat although this can be challenging in the accountability culture education is now facing?

In reply to @SnakeyChalmers

basnettj Dec 22 @ 3:11 PM EST

#ukedchat lack of trust. So true. A1

GilchristGeorge Dec 22 @ 3:05 PM EST

#UkEdChat A1 a) political interference and lack of trust (b peer pressure as they get older

#ukedchat A1 yes but if what comes from within is quashed then you need more energy.

In reply to @_theteachr

ukedchat - Moderator Dec 22 @ 3:12 PM EST

#UKEdChat School can be escape for many (pupils and/or teachers), so could be a positive experience? Still prays on the mind though.

_theteachr Dec 22 @ 3:11 PM EST

yes, family, friends, all play a role, whether positive or negative.

There's always room for creativity if you trust your staff to deliver. So I guess not trusting your staff is a barrier! #ukedchat

In reply to @ukedchat

ukedchat - Moderator Dec 22 @ 3:13 PM EST

Which comes from higher up? Politicians not trusting schools #UKEdChat Very top-down accountability system.

Can depend #UKEdChat Sometimes it’s a group of boys. Other times a group of girls. Sometimes, it’s just a mix of different influences.

#UKEdChat Q2 those with a lack of parental involvement, hopefully they just need time with an adult giving encouragement

Absolutely. The more positive the better #UKEdChat

In reply to @dazmileham

SnakeyChalmers Dec 22 @ 3:22 PM EST

Boys can be harder to motivate. There are different ways to engage them though. Boy-friendly topics and sport! #ukedchat

In reply to @ukedchat

#UKEdChat - Q4. Are barriers to professional motivation mainly external, or within yourself?

SnakeyChalmers Dec 22 @ 3:32 PM EST

Social expectations play a big part. Parents with low expectations pass this onto their children. #ukedchat

In reply to @Actionjackson, @ukedchat

UKEdSch Dec 22 @ 3:33 PM EST

A bit of both. Mainly use my family as the main reason of professional motivation, but some intrinsic factor must be at play #UKEdChat

ukedchat - Moderator Dec 22 @ 3:31 PM EST

#UKEdChat - Q4. Are barriers to professional motivation mainly external, or within yourself?

#UKEdChat A4 can be both, but the most demotivational are external as they can wear down intrinsic motivation over time

Indeed. It’s difficult to walk in someone else’s shoes, and truly understand their life #UKEdChat
