Professional Development
During our monthly Professional Development conversations, we take time to pause, focus on you the teacher, and explore how you can support your classroom. We provide simple and practical developmental tools to help you and your students be calmer and more focused. We've compiled the following recordings and resources from some of our past PD sessions.
