Weaknesses In The Campus Case Studies

There are many weaknesses found in the campus but one of them is debatable here. It was found that the campus scored 4.02 in the Teachers Engagement survey. It is obviously not satisfactory by all means, as teachers are the main assets of the campus, but they are evidently not fully satisfied with the campus somehow or the other. Some of the reasons that have been noticed are that teachers who leave the campus go for other teaching experiences or locations. Very few teachers took advantage of the leadership opportunities offered by the campus. Teachers need to be able to talk to and seek the assistance of those who are here for their support. When teachers don’t feel supported, they may seek employment elsewhere within the district. A strong sense of family and support is essential to good communication and retention. There are few recreational trips and facilities for them. Teachers are not encouraged to take part in the decision-making, so they feel a sense of deprivation. Teachers have high esteem needs by nature, so stopping them in the decision process makes them dissatisfied, and they find other options to choose from.

Solutions

It is the goal in the year to improve the Teachers Engagement survey score from 4.02 to 4.12, but there is still way more to do in this area. For the campus to progress in the long run, there is a dire need to retain teachers in the campus. The low attendance rate in leadership opportunities is a cause of no participation of teachers in decision-making making, so the teachers should be given chances in the campus’ decision-making process to make them feel honored, and this will, for sure, increase the above score to 4.5 or so in the next few years. The administrative team should provide opportunities to teachers who are seeking leadership roles or simply want to be more involved on campus. There should be some recreational trips for teachers to increase their motivation level towards their profession. Teachers must be invited to attend weekly morning/evening administration meetings, daily after-school debriefing and monthly leadership team meetings to share their input on the campus’s vision, goals and mission.
