Professional development teacher training for preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten teachers that inspires teachers with strategies, ideas, and activities they can take back to their classroom and implement the next day.
Here is a list of where I am presenting next! I would love to see you at one of the conferences. Check back often because I will continue to add to this list! If you don’t see me at a place near you, suggest to your local conferences or school to have me come speak and do a few professional development sessions!
