Good afternoon Teacher Leaders & Teams,

I hope all is well.

It’s been about a week since the Motivation workshop and I thought you might be ready for some follow-up Pink material. Below is a link to a video entitled //Daniel Pink on the Surprising Science of Motivation// in which Pink discusses traditional rewards and why they are not always as effective as we think. It was the clip I wanted to use but didn’t have time for.

Dear Leadership Colleagues, It was a pleasure to see you all last weekend and we look forward to a wonderful year. As I announced at our training Saturday, our next trainings will focus on Mission and Direction: Shared Vision, Values and Commitments and Collaborative Learning Cultures. In preparation for the Mission and Direction module, I would appreciate it if you could read the attached articles. They will help to set the contexts for our work. In addition, and consistent with my comments, we would love to receive copies of any School mission and vision statements and goals that have been set for the year. Mary has provided the Archdiocese mission, vision and beliefs which are part of your Strategic Plan. We will use them and any that you provide to enhance our work together. If you have them please send them to me or Lindsay Shafer as soon as possible but not later than Friday, October 7. Many thanks. As always, we are grateful for our work together and want to provide the best leadership learning experiences possible. Warmest and best regards to you…… John
