Workshops For 2025/2026

LINC-Mike Anderson Webinar for Teacher Center Directors-Rekindle Your Teachers' Professional Fires
Audience:  Teacher Center Directors and/or Designee
When:  Dates: 2/12/2026

Teachers have key fundamental psychological needs (autonomy, competence, purpose, belonging, curiosity, and fun). When we as school leaders can help meet those needs, teachers can be fired up and passionate educators. In this session will explore practical strategies for doing just that!

Based on my newest ASCD book, participants will gain a deeper and more complete understanding of human motivation--an understanding that will help them create conditions where teachers' self-motivation can thrive. Participants will learn about 6 key intrinsic motivators (autonomy, competence, purpose, belonging, curiosity, and fun) and how to leverage these in their work with teachers. We'll explore practical strategies that can be used throughout the daily work of running a school.

The session will be active and interactive. I will give some direct presentations and participants will share and talk together through chats and breakout rooms. Participants will gain access to an online binder of resources to support further learning and implementation. (1 CTLE hour)
