Intentional teachers employ a framework of practices that invite students to choose beneficial behaviors and lead them to realizing their full potential.  Rather than rely on the threat of assessments or extrinsic rewards, Intentional Teachers focus on cultivating intrinsic motivation and growth mindsets, which inspire students to value effort, crave challenge and persist in the face of obstacles.  Join us as we explore intentional practices for focusing attention, developing positive self-concepts and creating optimal learning experiences for all of our students.  This workshop is recommended for teachers and administrators at all levels of education.
