| The Private School Advantage for Teachers Contentment with one's career is a blessing to be cherished. Not everyone enjoys their job, but those who do seem to sense that they're "at home," fulfilling what they are called to do in a setting that feels right. Working conditions contribute a lot to such contentment. If one feels supported, affirmed, and appreciated, and perceives the workplace as pleasant, the contentment factor grows. New data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) show some significant differences in job satisfaction and perceived working conditions between teachers in private schools and their counterparts in public schools. Despite earning lower salaries, teachers in private schools are more satisfied with their careers, feel more recognized and supported, and are less stressed about their job setting than teachers in public schools. They also report lower rates of problematic student behavior. Find out more about the study in the January issue of Outlook. Also in the January Outlook:
