I don't know whether the "tiredness" the teachers call is physical fatigue or mental fatigue? Therefore, I advocate the harmonious design of school rhythm and strive to protect healthy motivation genes. Our school has several characteristics: lots of activities, lots of research, lots of visits, and lots of forums, which are generally accepted by teachers. Providing some rich activity platforms is undoubtedly a booster for teachers' spirit. There are several routine tasks in our school every week: the theme of "telling things and reasoning" is opened at the teachers' conference, allowing teachers to interpret their students, their own work, successes, mistakes and regrets; the theme of "Fragrant Bookstore" is opened, so that teachers can interpret their students, their own work, successes, mistakes and regrets, etc.; Teachers interpret books, classics, popular novels, etc.; the theme of "Education Weekly Review" is created to allow teachers to interpret social life and comment on colleagues around them, educational phenomena, and current news. Another theme is "Sing My Heart". Each teacher goes on stage to sing and dance to release themselves. The teachers adapt the lyrics and use their favorite songs to sing and dance about the feelings in their hearts. Teachers should be all-rounders, but in reality they can only be specialists. Poverty in life, lack of energy, and lack of emotion are common problems among modern teachers. Building these platforms can not only enrich teachers’ extracurricular life, but also help them broaden their horizons. Generate an internal drive for self-motivation. The third is to use all resources to motivate teachers. Resources that can motivate teachers in schools are widely available, and principals must learn to use their unique vision to discover these vivid educational resources. Our school has too many official wives and wealthy teachers. It stands to reason that they have the weakest motivation, but they happen to embody wonderful achievements. We make full use of these resources, for example, emphasizing that "an official wife should be like an official wife. If the husband is an official, the wife should set an example."

The fourth is to give full play to the leading and leading role of the principal. First, when I speak every Thursday, I always want to leave a concept to the teachers - "the charm of the principal", so that they like to listen to the principal's speech. I talk about everything from all over the world. I can talk about whatever the teachers want. I can talk about fashion, fake and inferior products, parenting and educating children, etc. My thinking direction is in the opposite direction. I never talk about exams and scores. Why should I increase the burden on teachers? If all the teachers in the school say "We want to go global", the louder the voice, the worse the goal. Why? Because it is actually out of reach, let’s walk from Luzhou to Chengdu first. Second, let teachers’ sense of responsibility and mission be fully expanded, just like blowing up a balloon. The greater the motivation, the greater it will expand. Teachers are not gods. They must be treated as human beings. For example, if you need love, I can give you a holiday. You must learn to mobilize people from their opposites and opposite directions. The skills, methods, and wisdom in this are particularly important. The third is openness. I don’t advocate how effective the system is, how valuable power is, or how far the ideal future is. My point is to focus on today, so that teachers can have a sense of happiness and accomplishment in school, because reality can be controlled. According to the eudaimonic theory, the factors that determine happiness are 50% heredity, 10% environment, and 40% individual behavior. What we have to do is to fully mobilize these 40% to mobilize teachers towards the higher goal of education.

Mobilizing teachers’ enthusiasm is an eternal theme. As schools and education exist, teacher motivation is a question that should be studied and an eternal research proposition.

Editor’s comment: Focusing on the return of the humanistic spirit, emphasizing respect for teachers’ life itself, satisfying teachers’ life development needs, and guiding teachers’ life value realization, the school will have endless energy. Discover and release teachers’ endogenous motivation and find the eternal wealth of teachers’ motivation.
