Summer PD Opportunity: Professional Growth Doesn't Have to Feel Like Work

In this final episode of our June Summer Strategy series, we’re turning the spotlight back on YOU—your growth, your leadership, and your mindset. Summer isn’t just a time to rest (though that’s definitely important!)—it’s also the perfect opportunity for intentional learning (chosen by you) that fills your cup instead of draining it.

Whether you want to build stronger systems, lead your para team more effectively, or learn how to better support your autistic learners, this episode reminds you that professional development can be empowering, not overwhelming.

During the school year, professional development often feels like just one more thing on your plate and you’re usually too mentally drained to truly absorb it.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why summer is the ideal time to invest in your own growth
  • How to reframe PD as nourishment—not a task
  • What kind of learning actually fuels you as an educator
  • How to get FREE access to the Preschool Autism Summit (July 14–16)
  • What you’ll gain from my brand-new session: The Power of Us
