Join us for a lunchtime conversation on how to cultivate authentic engagement, not only in our students but also within our own practice. We’ll explore simple, research-informed strategies for fostering autonomy, competence, and relatedness – the key drivers of intrinsic motivation – across a wide range of classroom contexts. Participants will leave with practical tools, renewed energy for their teaching, and a deeper understanding of how intrinsic motivation supports learning, well-being, and professional joy.
