The best PD ever. Only better.
When teachers attend Touchstones® workshops on discussion-based learning, they often rate them among the best they’ve attended. Our first-ever Educator Summit delivers on what our workshops do well and enhances the experience through an in-person cohort. You’ll engage in a practice-based exploration of how powerful discussion can be for building inclusive community and shared leadership. Join us for three days that will rekindle your connection to authentic learning and offer joyous inspiration to bring back to your classroom!
