Our Presenters Are Not Just Speakers—They’re EduRockstars!
At Get Your Teach On, our presenters aren’t simply standing at a podium sharing slides. They are the heartbeat of everything we do—the driving force behind the energy, inspiration, and transformation our conferences are known for.
EduRockstars are classroom-tested educators and leaders who bring both results and relationships to the forefront. They’ve proven what’s possible: skyrocketing test scores, unmatched student engagement, and classrooms that come alive with creativity, rigor, and joy. They are the teachers every student wishes they had—the ones who ignite curiosity, set high expectations, and refuse to settle for “average.”
Our presenters don’t just talk about best practices, they model them. They bring innovative strategies, proven systems, and an authentic passion for teaching that equips educators to walk back into their classrooms ready to create magic for every student, every lesson, every time.
When you step into a GYTO session, you’re not just learning from a speaker—you’re learning from a superstar in education.

What we’re looking for:
Attendees continue to ask for action-driven sessions that provide practical strategies and fresh ideas they can implement the very next day for maximum impact. Every GYTO session should be intentionally designed to address a specific classroom or leadership challenge with research-based practices and results-proven techniques that move the needle for students and schools.
We are seeking presenters who embody the very best in education—leaders who don’t just talk about change but have lived it, proven it, and can inspire others to do the same.
Selected presenters will demonstrate:
Expertise in their craft with content knowledge and innovative practice.
Current experience as a classroom teacher, school/district administrator, or professional development provider.
A proven track record of measurable results and student success.
Dynamic communication skills with the ability to engage, inspire, and command a room of educators and leaders.
Be sure to include:
Each session proposal should tackle a specific, narrow topic that can be developed with depth and purpose. Teachers don’t want to hear what they already know—they want solutions to the challenges they are facing right now. Your session should address a current problem in education and provide adaptable, ready-to-implement strategies that truly make a difference.
Proposals must be grounded in research-based practices and backed by measurable results from your own classroom, school, or district. Just as important, every session should be delivered in a way that feels fresh, creative, and unforgettable—something educators will walk away saying was a true “once-in-a-conference” experience.
Our content team will carefully review all proposals and select the sessions that align with these goals to be featured at an upcoming Get Your Teach On conference.
Show us!
The final step of the submission form asks for a URL link to a 10–15 minute video of you presenting. This is your chance to show us your delivery style, energy, and how you engage an audience.
Because we take our content so seriously and want to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience for educators, submissions without a video will not be considered.
Please have your video link ready before starting the form.
