INTRODUCTION

Get Your Teach On is excited to announce a very successful first year in partnership with the Indiana Department of Education for the 2022-2023 school year. Through this partnership, the GYTO team provided professional development opportunities to Indiana educators and leaders including free conferences, workshops, and training sessions, online virtual webinars, Indiana school collaboration site coaching and school-wide implementation, and more. These opportunities were designed to ignite educators’ passion for teaching and education, expand on current IDOE initiatives to support and elevate the educator profession, and make students want to come to school and learn while developing relationships. Get Your Teach On looks forward to continued success with this incredible partnership during the 2023-2024 school year in the state of Indiana.
