What I noticed was that most of our motivating factors eventually lead to improved student outcomes/success, achievement of objectives if you break them down. For example, I am motivated by faculty development opportunities but this is because I believe faculty development leads to improved student outcomes. I believe increased diversity on voice and perspective provides students with a wider lens to learn these outcomes. I noticed this theme throughout others’ posts.

 

Motivations

1. Faculty development opportunities – because I believe, as we develop, we are able to help our students more effectively
2. Increased diversity on voice and perspective – I think our educational system has a great opportunity for improvement here
3. Improved outcomes and scores – ultimately if the students are learning more, able to express themselves more aptly, feeling more confident in themselves, we are doing our job
