Organizations worldwide spend roughly $356 billion on leadership development efforts. Yet, the BrandonHall Group, a human capital research and analyst firm that surveyed 329 organizations in 2013, found that 75% of the organizations rated their leadership development programs as not very effective.

School staff who coach teachers to become better at their craft can be one approach to improving student outcomes, but few coaches have the time and administrative support to do their jobs effectively, a new survey finds. A large number of teacher coaches surveyed say they oversee at least 16 teachers, more than the recommended 10 teachers per coach.

Leadership is tough. It’s natural to lose motivation. How often do you find yourself losing motivation at work? Once a month? Once a week? Every day? It’s especially hard to stay motivated when you’re stressed. You feel lethargic. You feel like you’re just going through the motions. There’s no joy in your work. Stress causes your motivation to decrease for a reason. Research has shown that our willpower is finite and ever-fleeting.

 We've all had those moments where, as educators, we wish we could have handled a student behavior issue differently after it was all over. My moments, although extremely rare, often come when I let my emotions get the best of me when working with a student.

I have made it my mission to utilize this approach with every student interaction, and I implore my teachers to do the same.
