About the Reset. Reconnect. Reignite. Professional Learning Series

This is the second of four sessions in a professional learning series designed to meet educators where they are and move them toward where they want to be: thriving, purposeful, and fully equipped for the classroom of today. 

  • Practitioner-led and peer-credible: Developed by and for classroom educators and grounded in the lived experience of the nation's most recognized teacher leaders.
  • Flexible delivery: Each session works as a standalone 60-minute experience or as part of the full series. It can be presented either virtually or in-person.
  • Action-oriented: Every session moves participants from reflection to application, leaving participants with something concrete to use immediately and every day.
  • Timely and relevant: Directly addresses the back-to-school priorities, behavioral challenges, and teacher wellbeing needs educators are navigating since the pandemic.
