Exploring the impact of career models on teacher motivation

Lucy Crehan

If a qualified and motivated teaching force is key to achieving the Education 2030 goals, teacher career structures may represent a powerful leverage to improve teachers' motivation. What is the relation between teacher motivation and organization of careers? What lessons can be drawn for the design and implementation of career ladder systems? Drawing on the experience of a wide range of countries, this book explores the links between career structures and teacher motivation. It offers valuable guidance to educational planners and human resource managers seeking ways to make the teaching career more attractive to potential candidates and to motivate those already on the job.
