Shifting Motivation with Mike Anderson

Mike Anderson’s mission is to help make teaching and learning
more self-directed and joyful for both children and teachers. He
has been an educator for more than 25 years. A public-school
teacher for 15 years, he has also taught preschool, coached
school swim teams, and taught university graduate level classes.
He now works as a consultant providing professional learning for
teachers throughout the US and beyond.


In 2004, Mike was awarded a national Milken Educator Award, and
in 2005 he was a finalist for NH Teacher of the Year. In 2020, he
was awarded the Outstanding Educational Leader Award by NHASCD
for his work as a consultant. Mike is the author of many books
about great teaching and learning including Learning to Choose,
Choosing to Learn, The First Six Weeks of School, 2nd Edition,
and The Research-Ready Classroom. His latest book, What We Say
and How We Say It Matter, hit best-seller status five months
after its release.


When not working, Mike can be found hanging with his family,
tending his perennial gardens, and searching for new running
routes around his home in Durham, NH.
