What Teachers Are Saying

GYTO Lead on Conference gave me ideas to transition from teacher to administration. I was able to pocket some strategies for increasing teacher engagement, leading PLC’s and meetings, and intentional use of data.

I gained instructional strategies that have impacted my students profoundly this year. My student affirmation mirror is used daily by my firsties and they are so proud to find something positive to say about themselves each morning. Lanesha Tabb writing is used in my class daily as well and I have seen such growth this year.

Nationals was so important this year, it fueled me as an educator and gave me the inspiration and tools necessary to navigate through, what has been, a difficult year for me. Whether it’s creating small learning moments in class to get out of the norm or just remembering the inspiring words, it definitely helped me a lot!

Attending GYTO gave me new tools to utilize in my classroom and definitely inspired me and reminded me why I began teaching in the first place!

After a tough year, GYTO provided me with tools and strategies to not only get my students engaged, but to keep me motivated. It reminded me of my “why” and allowed my passion for teaching to continue to flourish.

The GYTO conference was the best one I have ever been to and I feel everyone should go at least once!
