Description

Start your school year feeling prepared, focused, and supported. This workshop is designed to give educators dedicated, uninterrupted time to plan for high-quality instruction before students arrive. Whether you’re refining pacing guides, internalizing units, organizing materials, or aligning to standards, this day is built around what you need most, time to get ready.

In addition to structured work time, optional breakout sessions will be available to support your professional growth and classroom practice. Topics may include tools and strategies such as IXL, AI for educators, engagement techniques, scaffolding, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), teacher wellness, creativity tools like Canva, and more. Attend what’s relevant to you, or continue your planning. This day is flexible by design. Complete the SURVEY to identify breakouts that you would be interested in attending. 

Join colleagues across grade levels and content areas for a productive, low-pressure environment that prioritizes preparation, collaboration, and choice. Walk away with concrete plans, stronger clarity, and the confidence to begin the year strong.
