Get Your Teach On Washington DC

This post is sooooooo late but I had to write about this experience!!! It was amazing and one that I think all educators need to have! 

So I went to this amazing conference in Washington DC in March! I was so tired and worn down! I could feel my passion just dwindling! 

I have to tell you that as soon as I entered the hotel and began this amazing journey that all changed! I was no longer tired! I was so hyped up and energized it was awesome! My passion began to grow again!!!

The presenters are beyond amazing! They are so real and passionate about what they do! It is so energetic and uplifting sitting in these sessions!!! 

I spent the conference with Deanna Jump, @mrsjumpsclass  and she is truly an inspiration!!! 

Her presentations were relevant and interactive! The knowledge she has of her craft is mind blowing! 

I absolutely had the best time singing and working with the others at my table!!! I met some amazing teachers!

Not only did I get to attend but I also had the opportunity to help them set up for the conference! This was absolutely awesome! Spending time with these educators was so uplifting! Being with people who get you makes it all worth it!!! 

So I met just a few amazing, inspiring educators:
