It's almost summer (congrats to those of you that have already started)! If you're already dreaming about slow mornings, later wake-ups, and no lesson planning for a few months, we completely understand. But if you want to sneak in some professional development without it eating into your summer break, we've got you covered.

Starting in June, we're running a series of morning Virtual PD sessions designed to fit into your summer, not take over it. Sessions kick off as early as 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET, so you can learn something new, earn PD credit, and still have the rest of the day ahead of you.

Whether you're looking to sharpen your content knowledge, discover new classroom activities, or just feel prepared and energized heading into the fall, there's something in the lineup for you.
