Are we facing a shortage of motivated teachers?
What kind of turnover do we have? (many international schools have "lifers" - people who are there because they are connected with the local community - but leaving these aside what is the turnover like for those who are free to leave?)
Do teachers feel isolated and alienated or do they feel their input is valued in school decisions?
Are new teachers provided instructional support, technical resources and mentoring?
Do teachers have frequent and meaningful opportunities for peer networking and collaboration?
Does the school encourage action research and the sharing of effective instructional approaches?
Is teaching a "flat" career or is there a ladder for professional advancement?
Do teachers have active roles in selecting and evaluating administrators and teachers?
How does the evaluation process provide teachers with the information they need to grow professionally?
What incentives are built into teacher evaluation and accountability systems to encourage lifelong learning and to recognise teacher leaders for their contributions and accomplishments?
