We have a full slate of LIVE professional development opportunities this week for teachers including our 2021 Virtual FinLit Conference on Saturday with 18 NEW! Virtual PD sessions planned and Amazon gift cards available in EVERY Session! 

Here's what teachers are saying about our Virtual PDs:

• "Honestly, these sessions have all been amazing! I have used so much due to the PDs!"!
• "Each time I join the sessions, I come away with new knowledge, insights, and ideas on how to use this information with my students."
• "I liked the facilitator modeling ways to teach virtually as well as suggestions from other motivated teachers!"

Relay Professional Education has developed a series of virtual workshops to support educators in addressing learning interrupted by the pandemic. In this series, educators will learn to create inclusive and supportive learning environments through culturally responsive practices, accelerate learning by maintaining grade-level rigor, and drive responsive instruction through intentional student work analysis. If you are interested in joining a session, please complete the survey here by 4/24 so we can work with Relay to organize and book!
