We organize world class professional learning conferences and provide a host of professional development services for educators in the United States and Canada. We realize schools have a limited budget when it comes to investing in professional learning opportunities. That is why we work hard to make sure when you invest in your own professional learning—or professional learning for your team—we do everything we can to ensure that the entire conference experience is planned intentionally so that all attendees walk away with practical strategies for improving their work as professional educators and are inspired to do just that!

"While culture and morale are both very important to a school, the culture has much deeper roots. Culture has to do with how you’re living in the building and what you’re doing when no one is watching. Morale is simply a snapshot of feelings at a given time that can unravel in a matter of moments."
