Week 7 Discussion - Recognizing Staff Accomplishments

Recognizing Staff Accomplishment

Monday, February 17, 2020, 3:50 PM

I really enjoyed the article “Recognizing the Stars on your Staff”.

I really like the

strategy of anyone can be a star.

Using this strategy you can celebrate many members

on your team for various reasons.

Therefore more than one teacher can be recognize

d

at one time.

At my school, we currently use the strategy teacher of the quarter.

All staff

is allowed to nominate a teacher each quarter.

The top three teacher nominations will

be put on a ballot for all staff to vote electronically at the end of each

quarter.

The

teacher of the quarter will receive a certificate as well as a gift.

The gift comes from my

school's community partners.

The teacher of the quarter is announced during

Wednesday's staff meetings.

I really like this idea, however, only o

ne teacher can be

recognized at a time.

I strongly feel we could incorporate bulletin boards to announce star teachers.

My

school actually has a staff bulletin board with all staff members pictures posted.

I feel it

would boost school morale by allowing

colleagues to complement their peers.

I also

feel this type of recognition will help to retain superstar teachers as well as build

capacity in content knowledge in all subject areas.
