Transformative PD in Action: How School Leaders Experience Get Your Teach On Conferences
As school leaders, we know professional development can sometimes feel like “one more thing.” The reality is, if it doesn’t inspire, empower, and equip teachers with strategies they can use right away, it rarely makes a lasting impact.
That’s why hearing directly from principals who have brought their teams to the Get Your Teach On Conference matters so much. Their experiences show what’s possible when PD is not only practical but also transformative.
Here’s what three administrators shared with us after attending our GYTO National Conference (GYTO Fest) this summer:
⭐️ “As a first-time attendee in the GYTO Lead On track, I was truly inspired. The presenters were engaging, knowledgeable, and full of practical ideas I can take back to my school. The keynote sessions were absolute cup-fillers, motivating, energizing, and exactly what I needed as a new leader. I’m walking away feeling empowered and excited for the year ahead!” - Ashley Dufresne
⭐️ “Attending GYTO was an incredible experience from start to finish. I walked away reaffirmed in my purpose as an educator and equipped with innovative strategies to help our school thrive. Our entire team of teachers felt the PD was top-notch, energized, inspired, and ready to implement what they learned. We highly recommend GYTO to any school leader looking for meaningful, engaging, and transformative professional development. It was a game-changer for us!” - Dorothy Ortiz
⭐️ “Attending GYTO was a transformative experience that reignited my passion as a leader. It challenged me to lead with heart, model joy, and prioritize celebrating educators daily, not just during Teacher Appreciation Week. Since returning, I’ve made it my mission to reduce burnout by pouring back into the people who pour into our students. GYTO gave me the tools, mindset, and renewed vision to not only inspire my team, but to be the inspiration they deserve.” - Stephanie Coulter
When leaders walk away with a renewed vision, and teachers walk away with practical tools and joy for the work, school culture shifts.
