Welcome to the support site for the new film, Teaching From Within, produced by TIE Media Productions. Here, you can find resources and links that will be helpful in making the important transition from motivation by Rewards, Fear and Coercion toward a more sustainable and long-lasting approach we’re referring to as, Teaching From Within. You’ll find on this site a growing set of resources as we research and develop items to support the educators engaged in our workshops.

You can also explore the 12 Understandings, foundational concepts that are at the core of the Teaching From Within approach. These concepts also form the basis for a new book that is now in the works. We will occasionally post segments as that project develops.
