Dear Colleagues,

I would be honored to have you join me at my new Western Suffolk BOCES workshop: 

"Shaping Intentional Practice Through the Danielson Framework: 

How Highly Effective Teachers Promote Intrinsic Motivation"

Feb. 7 and March 6, 4:00 - 6:30 PM

This workshop is offered in two parts, Feb. 7th and March 6th.  Feel free to join us for either or both sessions.  We'll be identifying what teachers can do to create the conditions that inspire students to take charge of their own learning, choose challenge, value effort and persist in the face of obstacles.  In these workshops, 

• We'll learn about self-determination theory and how to insure students experience autonomy, competence and relatedness in the classroom.  
• We'll hear real high school students explain what teaching behaviors helped or hindered their motivation and effort in school, and
• We'll link each of these teaching behaviors to competencies in the Danielson "Framework for Teaching."

These workshops are designed for all educators.  Our goal is to create an intentional practice to help all school adults and students to realize their potential.
