Why 97% of Teachers Say GYTO PD Prepares Them for the Year Ahead

Over the last decade, I’ve sat alongside leaders who share the same frustration: “We’re investing in PD, but it isn’t moving the needle.”

Too often, professional development leaves teachers drained instead of energized. And the truth is, when PD doesn’t translate into stronger instruction, leaders end up carrying the weight of trying to re-inspire their teams.

That’s why at Get Your Teach On, our focus has always been this: PD that is practical, joyful, and rooted in research. PD that makes teachers feel equipped and inspired, so leaders don’t have to choose between morale and results.

Here’s what we’ve seen in districts across the country:

• When teachers experience interactive learning, they don’t just hear about strategies; they practice them and leave ready to implement the next day.

• When PD is aligned to best practices like clear learning targets, student engagement, and real-time progress monitoring, student growth follows, no matter the curriculum.

• When teachers feel valued and re-energized, it changes school culture. And leaders see the impact not just in classrooms, but in retention and morale.

The data backs it up: Over 97% of educators who attend GYTO say they leave more prepared for the year ahead, and 95% use the strategies they learn on a monthly basis.

As leaders, we can’t afford to pour into PD that checks a box. Our teachers and our students deserve development that truly works.
