Spoiler: It’s not more paperwork or mandates.

The stage is set for GYTO Las Vegas 2025! This January, thousands of educators will gather for three unforgettable days of professional development that blends research-backed strategies, high-energy inspiration, and real-talk sessions that challenge and reframe perspectives.

When teachers are empowered to create, students thrive—and when administrators join in, school culture transforms. Rock Your School is more than a one-day event; it’s a movement that unites teachers, principals, and entire campuses around joy, creativity, and authentic engagement.

After observing hundreds of classrooms nationwide, one truth stands out: consistency in Tier I instruction is the foundation of student success and teacher confidence. When schools commit to “Every Lesson. Every Student. Every Time,” classrooms transform. Students move from passive participants to engaged, accountable learners who know exactly what success looks like.

Explore professional development that truly works—practical, research-backed PD that energizes teachers, improves instruction, boosts student growth, and strengthens school culture.”

Get Your Teach On’s Rock Your School Rally is coming up on September 28th! It's designed to be a launch point for educators everywhere to get inspired, reenergized, and ready to transform learning on their campuses.

If your campus needs a reset, a morale boost, or a reminder of what is possible when teachers are free to create, Rock Your School is the spark. One standard. 200 teachers. 200 different ways.
All effective. All authentic. All students winning.

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.

As educators, it is easy for classrooms to fall into the rhythm of routines. The same lesson plans. The same transitions. The same approaches to delivering instruction. While consistency is important, too much sameness can lead to teacher burnout and disengaged students.

Teacher retention is not just about keeping educators in classrooms. It is about creating environments where they want to stay, grow, and thrive. Over the past three years, we have partnered with districts across Indiana to make that vision a reality. Through the Get Your Teach On framework, these campuses have leaned into three critical areas.

As schools welcome students and staff back, great leaders set the tone for the entire year. After more than a decade of working alongside leaders across districts, one truth has become clear: leadership is less about what you say and more about what you consistently do.

In the last two years, our team at Get Your Teach On visited over 500 classrooms across districts of every size. We wanted to answer a critical question:
Why do some classrooms see consistent student growth while others, despite having hardworking teachers and capable students, struggle to make gains?

As a former teacher, I know how quickly the energy and excitement of a new school year can be replaced with exhaustion and burnout for both teachers and leaders. That’s why we created Rock Your School.

It’s a national movement designed to re-energize your teachers, re-engage your students, and remind everyone on your campus that joy and academic rigor can coexist.

As a new school year begins, I know the weight you carry. It is not just schedules, staffing, or budgets. It is the constant hum of outside voices questioning your work.

This year, I hope you remember: let them.
