Who knew a math conference could be this FUN?!
Let’s face it, math PD needs a makeover.
STRESSFUL. SCARY. OVERWHELMING. UNCOMFORTABLE. USELESS.
These are words that teachers have used to describe their feelings about math and about their experiences with math professional development. Simply put, math isn’t their jam, and the PD they’ve gotten isn’t changing that.
That’s why we go out of our way to create a math professional learning experience that shifts mindsets, builds knowledge, and changes practices. Even better, we do it in a safe, judgment-free, and fun environment! We allow teachers the space to experience math differently, and then inspire them to do the same for their students!
That’s why we created Get Your Workshop On!
Get Your Workshop On combines the environment you want with the professional learning you need!
From the moment you arrive, you’ll realize that learning and teaching math doesn’t have to be scary, boring, or hard.
Unlike typical PD, Get Your Workshop On intentionally makes learning FUN and ACTIVE for you, just like we hope you do with your students!
We know you’re educators, but we haven’t forgotten that you’re people too! You deserve to have a great time while gaining the skills, confidence, and knowledge to take your instruction to the next level!
