(Fun) Summer Professional Development for Teachers // First-Year Teacher Vlog 

Hi Maddie!!! This was super helpful! Thanks for being you!!!

YAY CONGRATS ON 10K!!!! 😍😍😍😍

Thanks for posting about all of these! I wish I could attend them all!

Jenn Jones' free guided reading videos on Facebook were amazing! Totally useful and practical. Enjoy!

this was beyond helpful

I love spending this (virtual) time with you, and I can't wait for our PD dates! Love you always Maddie!

Hey you’re at 10k! YAY!! Congrats, sweet friend! Also so so excited to see more Maddie videos 😍

Loved this Maddie! You and Mayleen should open up the PD chat for Jen Jones guided reading videos to k-1 teachers. I’d love to do it and discuss with you guys ❤️ I loved doing the GYTO virtual sessions the first round. I learned so much! Deanna Jump is amazing! Can’t wait to see more from you on RU-vid sweet friend 💕🌟 AND CONGRATS ON 10K 🎉🎉

I love professional development too! Thank you so much for sharing these resources. I just signed up for the educators 2 educators conference and I've already purchased and watched some of the sessions from the GYTO K/1st grade. However, I've noticed that many of the sessions are applicable for other grades! There are great tips and strategies that I want to implement in my 2nd grade classroom. It's fun to see your personality come out in your videos :)

Thank you for all the great information! One study that I have done for the last 4 summers is a Bible study with Teachers In the Word. It’s not a PD, but it’s a Bible study written by 2 teachers for teachers. This summer’s study is in Joshua. ☺️

Hi, next time you go to the conventions (in person) , it would be awesome to see a vlog! I love your videos!

There is a great channel on RU-vid - A Not So Wimpy Teacher. She has a lot of videos about guided groups - reading and math. Thanks for the PD recommendations!

Thanks for the recommendations!😀

I loved the GYVTO too! I signed up for the e2e conference thanks for the information!! Anyone interested in Whole Brain Teaching- they have free zoom sessions you can sign up for. They are fantastic!!

Cassie Tabrizi from Create-abilities has great free webinars on her Create-abilities website. I believe she has 6 or 7. They were great and very informative. Also Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard. I love him! He had something like 15-20 of his webinars posted on his website. I loved those too. I’m not sure how long he will keep them up to be accessed but definitely check them out!

Love this! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂

This PD sounds so fun! I can't wait to hear all about it

I'm also attending the Teach Your Heart Out conference!! I'm so excited!

Thank you SO much for sharing! I’ll be a first year teacher in the fall, and I’ve been loving summer PD! Last month I did Jen Jones’ Guided Reading PD on FB - it is fantastic!!! I learned so much! 🙌🏻

I love meaningful PD! Thanks for sharing! I'm interested to know how you are planning for this fall. I teach in NC and we are expecting more guidance this week about reopening.

I attend GYVTO earlier this summer, and I am doing the Summer Reboot! 😃 I may need to check out these others. I love PD! Thanks so much for sharing.

Do you know if you get certificates for the Teach Your Heart Out sessions? I can't seem to find anything about that on the website.

Maddie, you crack me up. Edited to add: And I always learn something new from every video! 😀😀 Looking forward to more videos from you.

For me it depends on the PD. If it is a district/school PD, I tend to dread those because most of the time, I'm not learning anything new. But, I do enjoy PDs that offer new ideas. I went to Learning Without Tears in October and it was amazing and so eye-opening. Love the top btw, it's super cute.

I’m so glad you posted today, I love watching your videos they make my day so much better. I’m still in high school and have no idea what I want to do with my life but watching all of your helpful videos makes me want to be an elementary school teacher!! Your making a difference!!!

Love this Maddie! I've also never been to a Teach Your Heart Out conference- but it's been on my list too 🤗these all sound great!

I've been doing a lot of the same PD's as you this summer! I'm loving all of them! The PB&J series by Jen Jones has been awesome and I'm looking forward to her HelloLitCon coming soon! Glad to know that you are a PD geek like me -- it's how I recharge my teacher battery each year!! Yea!! :)

Are you wearing a shirt or is it a dress?✨ it is so cute!😍

I keep getting Teach Your Heart Out and Get Your Teach On confused 🥴

PD is hit or miss for me. I agree that having a friend to do things with helps. Thanks for sharing!

I am second
