Hello everyone! It's that time of year again where we look forward to all of the amazing professional development opportunities for educators. With so many choices, sometimes it's hard to pick what you want to ask to go to (or pay to go to yourself.)  Luckily, some conferences are at such a higher level the decision on what to choose to go to is easy...  We are no strangers to Get Your Teach On at Teach Me, Teacher! We've experienced the magic first hand, talked about what it's all about, and now that we are post-pandemic and in a new world of teacher burnout, we are looking at it again and asking, "What is PD like in this new world?"  Chris Pombonyo returns to the show to answer this question, and to talk about his love for data!    This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, When Kids Can't Read—What Teachers Can Do, Second Edition, by Kylene Bears. Reading matters because it changes us. It changes the way we think, the way we see the world, the way we process information and dream new thoughts. This new edition of When Kids Can’t Read—What Teachers Can Do is a guidebook for those who teach students who struggle with reading. Extensively rewritten by Kylene Beers, it offers practical teaching scaffolds and strategies in the areas of comprehension, vocabulary development, fluency, and engagement.
