Students are invigorated by their teachers' energy and motivation, but how do teachers stay motivated? Why are so many teachers leaving the profession rather than progressing in their educational careers? A teacher’s drive and desire to share their knowledge really is infectious but teachers can spend so much time motivating their students that they often forget that they must stay motivated themselves.

​Easier said than done? Read on for our top tips on how to stay motivated in an educational vocation and how self-motivation can ensure you reach your career goals.

Why Do Teachers Struggle With Motivation?
​

​For most of the time teachers work alone. They plan their lessons alone, they mark alone and they teach their lessons by themselves. Behavior can be challenging and the hours working inside and outside of the school building can become mentally and physically draining. 

In order to rekindle their passion and love for teaching, self-motivation is often the best strategy for teachers to ensure that they are giving themselves and their students the very best teaching experience.
​

The Top 3 Ways You Can Motivate Yourself in Your Teaching Career
​

​We have compiled our top 3 tips on how to stay motivated in your teaching career. These 3 examples all require you to develop your soft skill sets, but the rewards are worth it, trust us! 
​

​"Your passion for teaching and confidence in your own abilities will motivate and inspire your students" 
​
​

 1. Self-Confidence
​

First and foremost, you must have trust in your own abilities as a teacher.

Having confidence in your own personal judgement of situations that can occur in the classroom, and knowledge of your student’s needs, means you will gain ownership of the classroom.
​
Teachers should have a positive attitude towards education, what they can offer in their role as a teacher and how they can achieve results.

​A self-assured teacher never loses confidence in their own ability to teach.

Your passion for teaching and confidence in your own abilities will motivate and inspire your students. 
​​
  • Motivation – Teachers can change their students’ lives for the better.

​A teacher who has the confidence to inspire a student towards greatness will first have to be confident in their own capabilities of delivering such an accomplishment.​

"A confident teacher is one who is self-aware" 
​


​2. ​Self-Awareness
​

A confident teacher is one who is self-aware. They are conscious of who they are, what makes them unique and what they want to achieve in the classroom.

A teacher should understand how best to engage with their students, and they should know what makes them excited about learning.
​  
A teacher who is aware of their abilities will exude confidence in the way they think, the way they cope with situations and their ability to control the classroom to deliver the best for their students. 
​
  • Motivation - A teacher who is self-aware of all their strengths and weaknesses can think fast and adapt quickly.

A teacher with decisive judgement and flexibility can easily adapt to change. They can effortlessly figure out ways to approach challenges by thinking outside of the box and shift position in order to fit in with a new schedule. ​


​3. Self-Leadership
​

​Teachers with leadership qualities are often critical thinkers.

They are adept in problem solving which is crucial as problems can and will arise in any classroom.

A teacher who thinks critically will understand the problems that arise, will assess the problems and devise solutions to solve these problems.

​The skills required for a critical thinking teacher include creativity, problem-solving and curiosity which can all be learned by a teacher who has self-leadership skills and a drive to succeed. 
​
  • Motivation – Students will learn effectively because of the competence and confidence of their teacher.

​A teacher with clear leadership objectives will have a formulated plan in place and a belief in their own abilities. Their lessons will be motivational and strengthened by their passion and drive for progression within their teaching career. ​
