The Teacher Empowerment Index

The Teacher Empowerment Index is a measurement that assesses how supported and valued teachers feel in their profession. It considers factors like access to professional development, participation in decision-making, workplace support, and job satisfaction. A higher index score indicates that teachers are empowered through resources, respect, and opportunities to influence their work environment, which can lead to better teaching quality and student outcomes. Essentially, it gauges the level of empowerment teachers experience within their schools or districts.
