Daniel Pink’s Three Drivers Applied to Schools
Daniel Pink’s Three Drivers Applied to Schools
In this sidebar in Teaching Children Mathematics, consultant Robyn Silbey draws on Daniel Pink’s work to urge school leaders to support:
• Autonomy – “Help teachers make choices that will earn them the freedom to control their schedule, instruction, planning, and data analysis,” says Silbey.
• Mastery – “Make teachers feel good about their successes,” she urges. This can be verbal praise given privately or in front of students or colleagues or in handwritten notes or e-mails specifically describing effective practices.
• Purpose – Help teachers see the progress students have made and how specific instructional practices made it happen.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
