Abstract

Teachers' salaries have increased as a direct result of the in-service certification program that has been in place since 2006. Since schools reward teachers financially if they complete and pass an in-service certification program. This raise is meant to incentivize educators to do even better in the classroom. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether or not the in-service teacher certification program has any positive influence on boosting teacher motivation and performance. Scopus journal searches are employed for this purpose. Multiple studies have found that a teacher's level of certification while in office has a significant impact on that teacher's level of motivation and overall performance in the classroom.
