Career Trajectories Study - Research Brief 3: Workplace Environments - The Importance of Empowerment, Collegiality, Supervision, and Recognition

This brief, drawn from data collected from almost 1,300 North American Jewish educators as part of the CASJE On the Journey study, explores four categories of educator workplace environments: (1) factors that support or hinder professional autonomy and empowerment; (2) relationships with and opportunities for collaboration with colleagues; (3) effective and productive supervision; (4) and respect and recognition for one’s work. We examine the extent to which educators experience these conditions and how the presence or absence of them affects how educators perceive and talk about their work.
