April’s Topic: Bringing I’m Determined to Life in Warren County

This session shares how Warren County Public Schools has moved self-determination from an idea into daily classroom practice. The Warren County team will introduce the I’m Determined Resource Package, a collection of ready-to-use tools, ideas, and supports developed to help educators teach and reinforce the elements of self-determination. The session will also highlight Warren County’s ongoing teacher cohort, where educators take part in monthly professional learning focused on implementing I’m Determined in their own classrooms. The Warren County team  will walk through the resources, show how they are being used in real classrooms, and share how this approach has supported implementation across schools.

The Series Details

Join the I’m Determined Center’s team of Regional Ambassadors and educators from across the Commonwealth as they spark your passion for self-determination! 

This collaborative professional learning series launches educators into a virtual community focused on building connections and a shared desire to help Virginia’s students become self-determined learners. 

Throughout this series, participants will 

  • Dive into real talk about the challenges fostering self-determination can bring and brainstorm powerful solutions together.
  • Hear stories from schools and divisions that are rocking a culture of self-determination and the steps they took to get there! 
  • Grab practical, easy-to-use strategies that boost student competence, autonomy, and relatedness.
  • Create an action plan to transform their classroom, school, or even division.
  • Connect with others and build a vibrant network of passionate educators who are determined to foster self-determination within their schools and communities! 

This incredible learning opportunity began on September 25th, 2025 and will continue its orbit through May 21st, 2026! All virtual sessions will be held from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend any or all events—come when you can, and we look forward to seeing you!
