Students Need Strong Tier 1 Instruction!
THE PROBLEM
Strong Tier I instruction—the key to academic success and behavior management—is missing from many classrooms. Not from lack of effort, but from overwhelm, confusion, and competing demands. Teachers are working hard, but not always on the right things—and intervention can’t fix what Tier I fails to deliver.
THE SOLUTION
GYTO’s Charlotte Pop Up Teacher Conference is here to bring top tier strategies directly to you. This intensive one-day, high-energy experience will give you the strategies you need to level up your instructional plan. You’ll build your instructional playbook and learn how to execute it with clarity and confidence—because schools that are winning aren’t doing more… they’re doing what matters most.

TWO DAYS. TWO DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.
ONE GOAL: BETTER INSTRUCTION.
Saturday, October 3rd:
Build the Foundation
Strong instruction.
Shared language.
Better behavior.
On Saturday morning Hope King will focus on high-quality Tier 1 Instruction through Get Your Teach On’s Five to Thrive framework: five high-impact instructional practices that create a common language for teaching and learning across classrooms, grade levels, and schools. We'll move beyond broad instructional expectations and get specific about the practices that have the greatest impact on what students experience every day.
Then, Saturday afternoon will tackle one of the biggest challenges facing educators right now: student behavior. Andre Deshotel will take the stage for a practical deep-dive into behavior and classroom management. Because behavior management isn't separate from instruction.
Sunday, October 4th:
Function Before Fun
Build the systems.
Read the room.
Elevate the experience.
Sunday begins with the systems that make great instruction possible. Hope King will unpack five foundational classroom systems she teaches before almost anything else: simple, repeatable routines that help students transition efficiently, participate consistently, take ownership of their learning, and maximize instructional time.
Later Sunday, Wade King will take solid instruction and show you how to elevate the experience: transforming everyday activities, increasing participation, building anticipation, and creating the kinds of learning experiences that keep students invested and on the edge of their seats.
Attendees registered for Saturday can add Sunday for just $149 more!
