"I felt encouraged in growth and new strategies"
It was really helpful and I enjoyed the format a lot. Even with 15 years of experience, I felt encouraged in growth and new strategies. I wish that all of my colleagues would have taken advantage of this opportunity.
ERIN // Spanish 1, 3 pre aP & 5
"I was able to instantly use what I learned into my lessons the next day"
I enjoyed all the presentations during that week. The best part is that I was able to instantly use what I learned into my lessons the next day. Thank you.
VICENTE // Middle School Teacher
"There were so many topics that were relevant to what I do"
I absolutely LOVED this summit!!! I would get up early and stay up late binge-watching presentations. There were so many topics that were relevant to what I do, which is not always the case as an elementary teacher. I loved how I could pick and choose topics.
