Because it works

Why Get Your Teach On Professional Development Works

Get Your Teach On doesn't just inspire. It translates inspiration into classroom reality.

Practical, Research-Aligned Content

Our sessions go far beyond theory. Teachers learn exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it and they practice it live.

High-Quality Modeling & Real Classrooms

From live model lessons to authentic classroom footage, teachers get to see effective instruction in action.

Emotional Recharge + Cognitive Rigor

Our approach is simple: If a teacher doesn't feel inspired, they can't be innovative. We reignite passion and sharpen practice. This combination is rare and incredibly effective.

Immediate, Actionable Implementation

Teachers leave with tools they can use the very next day: Lesson structures, engagement strategies, routines, coaching cycles, and Tier I systems.

Long-Term Support & Sustainability

With tracks ranging from leadership to small groups to Science of Reading, teams leave with a full-year plan not a three-day high.

Taught by Practicing Educators

Every presenter is a current classroom teacher, a school or district administrator, or an experienced professional development provider. Sessions are accepted by proposal, with research citations and evidence the content worked in a real classroom. A speaker's social media following is never part of the decision.

What Schools See After Sending a Team

We survey thousands of educators after every Get Your Teach On conference. Three patterns show up year after year.

Instructional Improvement

97%

say they implement GYTO strategies on their campus at least monthly.

Educators leave with concrete, actionable Tier I strategies. Schools report higher student engagement, better transitions, and more consistent academic routines across classrooms.

Teacher Retention & Morale

88%

reported a renewed commitment to staying in the profession.

94% of attendees felt more inspired or motivated after attending. Administrators consistently cite reduced burnout and higher staff morale during the school year that follows.

School Culture & Team Alignment

When teams attend together, the impact multiplies:

  • Stronger alignment around Tier I expectations
  • Clearer instructional language across grade levels
  • Increased collaboration and buy-in around school-wide initiatives

Get Your Teach On creates momentum, not just within individuals, but across entire campuses.

Retention figure from the 2025 Get Your Teach On Charlotte Conference Attendee Follow Up Survey. All other figures are pooled across post-conference surveys.

The Bottom Line

Sending teachers to GYTO is not a cost. It's an investment in your people and your results. Instruction rises. Culture rises. Student learning rises.

That's why administrators keep sending their teams year after year.

Questions Teachers Ask Us

Which conference should I pick?

If you want the strategies without the travel, pick the Pop Up nearest you. If you want session choice, keynotes, and a few days away, pick Las Vegas or GYTO Fest. The Tier 1 instruction content runs through all three.

Can 5 teachers bring a leader for free?

Yes, at every conference on this page. Register 5 teachers, then use code FREELEADER for the 6th registrant — a principal, assistant principal, instructional coach, or district leader attends at no cost.

Can my school or district pay?

Yes. 91% of GYTO attendees are funded by their school or district. We accept purchase orders, invoices, and checks, and every conference offers a payment plan. Schools and districts registering in bulk with a PO use the same registration link.

Do I get PD credit?

Every attendee receives a professional development certificate. Pop Ups are 6 PD hours; Las Vegas is 12 PD hours; GYTO Fest is 24 PD hours across four days.

Who is this for?

Classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and school and district leaders. The content is Tier 1 instruction, so it applies to every classroom in the building. Each conference page lists the grade levels it covers.

What if GYTO isn't coming to my city?

New Pop Up cities are announced through the school year. You can also bring us to you: GYTO Your Way brings the GYTO experience to your school or district, or start from your classroom with on-demand virtual PD.

What is Get Your Teach On?

Get Your Teach On (GYTO) specializes in professional development and encouragement for educators and administrators in the form of conferences, workshops and events. GYTO conferences are known for their passionate celebration of teachers and their ability to inspire lifelong learners. Founded in 2016, GYTO now hosts National and Regional Conferences, Virtual Conferences, school and district trainings, and additional events for a wide variety of educators and school administrators each year. GYTO also provides free resources, teacher-focused merchandise and is the parent organization for the worldwide Rock Your School initiative which encourages out-of-the-box teaching.

Who should attend a Get Your Teach On Conference?

Get Your Teach On conferences provide high-quality and engaging professional development for Kindergarten through 8th Grade teachers, school leaders, and district administration. GYTO also offers programming for high school teachers as part of our in-school and district-wide professional development offerings, but this content is not currently offered at our regular conferences.

Additionally, we offer programming specifically for Special Education teachers at our annual GYTO Fest National Conference, and all major conferences offer our Lead On administrator track.

How long has Get Your Teach On been supporting education?

Get Your Teach On was founded in 2016, and has been providing high-quality professional development for teachers and administrators ever since. All of our GYTO presenters and speakers are classroom teachers, school and district administrators, and professional development providers who bring many years of classroom and school expertise to their sessions and workshops.

Are Get Your Teach On sessions based on research and evidence?

All Get Your Teach On sessions are research-backed and evidence-based. When developing sessions for GYTO, each presenter is required to submit research citations with their workshops. Further, all presenters must provide evidence of their content's efficacy by providing test results or other verifiable metrics showing success in the classroom, school, or district.

Who are Get Your Teach On's presenters?

Get Your Teach On works with a variety of educators and administrators for our conferences. All GYTO session presenters are required to submit session proposals prior to their acceptance as a speaker. All speakers are experts in their craft with a proven track record and results to prove it. Presenters must be a current classroom teacher, school or district administrator, or an experienced professional development provider. A speaker's social media following is not taken into consideration during the selection process.

Does GYTO offer more than conferences?

Yes! Get Your Teach On's mission is to support schools and educators. Beyond conferences, GYTO offers on-site school and district trainings, long-term professional development (Collaboration Sites), a wide variety of classroom digital downloads and resources, The Flip Side Podcast, and even apparel, accessories, and other teacher essentials through our GYTO Collective merchandise. GYTO is also the creator and host of Rock Your School: a worldwide student engagement initiative.

Subject: Professional development request — Get Your Teach On

Hi [Principal],

I'd like to attend the Get Your Teach On conference in [city] on [date]. The content is Tier 1 instruction, so it applies to every classroom in our building rather than one grade level or one program.

Registration is $219 per teacher for six hours of PD, and every attendee receives a PD certificate. In GYTO's follow-up surveys, 97% of attendees report implementing the strategies in their classrooms at least monthly.

If five of us attend, a leader attends free with code FREELEADER. GYTO accepts purchase orders, invoices, and checks, and offers a payment plan.

Thank you for considering it.
