Each month, I get so excited about taking you on a "road trip" and sharing some amazing conferences.  As I looked at my calendar, I noticed that August is much lighter than many other months as I considered professional development opportunities. As I shared last month, to TRANSFORM, you need to not only seek connections outside of your school, but find your PLN. These four learning opportunities are great ways to get started on transforming learning. They help you reach beyond your expectations and grow as an educator

Code Breaker Summer Camp- August 12th

I really wish I could go to this one, but the timing is all off for me. Since teachers return on contract on August 13th in my district, August 13th is going to be a busy day for me.  But since this event is only $5,00, I might register anyways. So many amazing presenters are sharing and I feel so blessed to call many of them friends. Register on Eventbrite. This is a hybrid event so learning will be both in person in Massachusetts and online.
