Next Generation Learning Challenges has released an informative guide to nurturing adult learning communities. Excerpts from the piece appear below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is only by cultivating the types of adult learning cultures where our teachers feel revived and excited about the work that we can hope to create the types of schools where students feel empowered by their learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While paying teachers more is always a good idea, job satisfaction matters more for teacher retention than salaries. School leaders can set the conditions to attract and retain educators by utilizing what we know motivates people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Pink\u2019s work on motivation<\/a> provides a roadmap for creating environments where teachers want to be. To retain the educational workforce, his work suggests, schools should provide educators with a strong purpose, opportunities to master their craft, and space to be innovative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However it isn\u2019t enough to just cultivate the conditions where staff have a strong sense of shared purpose, opportunities to grow, and autonomy in their work. How you lead matters. When the three principles named above are coupled with the following leadership characteristics, school leaders can authentically show up and galvanize their community to work together to realize the shared vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
