Our favorite types of PD are those that can be done anywhere. With that being said, you can tune into the summit from anywhere with internet access. (Did somebody say PD in your pajamas?)

Presentations:

Presentations will be 30 minutes long each. Whether you join us live or catch the replay, each speaker will share actionable information that will help you create a lasting impact on the lives of the students in your classroom.

Party It Up!

You'll also have access to a private community group for the summit where we'll be partying it up before the summit starts and cheering each other on once it kicks off. Prizes: As an attendee, you'll have the chance to win prizes based on engagement, BINGO, and giveaways. In fact, entries are being awarded right now in the Facebook group. Come on in and join the fun!

The All-Access Pass!

After registering, you can also upgrade to gain access to the All-Access Pass. That means you'll get extended access to the presentations and so many other amazing resources to help you in the classroom. You won't want to miss it!

My Session:
