What's better than FREE?!!

Soooooooo… 2020 has been a long haul for all of us, and the last thing you are thinking about right now is professional development, but how often do you get the opportunity for a FREE Teaching Summit with dozens of available video presentations?  And it all takes place over Winter Break, so you don’t have that old “I’m so busy… classes… students… meetings…” hanging over your head – you can just kick back and enjoy!

​“Personally, it's my way of saying "thank you" to you ... for all that you do in education, for being brave to try new things in service of your students.” -Matt Miller, Founder, Ditch That Textbook

• All new videos: FREE
• All previous years' videos: FREE
• That’s more than 60 video presentations!

HOW IT WORKS:

• New presentations are released every day from Dec. 14-22.
• Videos remain available until Jan. 8 so you can re-watch or catch up on any you’ve missed. They’re pre-recorded, so you can watch them whenever you want until Jan. 8.
• After Jan. 8, the summit ends and the videos are unavailable to watch anymore.

FREE PD HOURS (check with your institution):

• You can get FREE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CREDITS for watching the videos.
• There’s a form to fill out after each presentation, and you’ll get an automatic PD certificate emailed to you.
