How to Make the Most of Your 2025 Summer Retreat
The Countdown is On!
The 2025 Summer Professional Learning Retreat is almost here, happening June 17th, 18th, and 19th—and we couldn’t be more excited to learn, connect, and grow with you this year!
If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time to do so. You can sign up now for any sessions that interest you. Even if you’ll be out of town or can’t join us live, we still encourage you to register. Everyone who registers will receive access to all session recordings, materials, and resources after the event, so you won’t miss a thing.
Today, we're sharing a few tips to help you make the most of this year’s retreat. Whether you’re logging in from your home office, your kitchen table, or a beach chair with a view, this three-day virtual retreat is built to be both flexible and impactful, designed to fit your summer rhythm.
Here’s how to get the most out of it, wherever and however you’re joining us.
Login & Learn
One of the best things about this retreat? It’s 100% virtual, which means you can join in from wherever you are. Just grab your laptop, log in to Discere, and you’re ready to go! No Zoom links, no stress, everything happens through your Discere account.
Don’t Forget the Snacks
Learning is better with snacks, it’s a fact. Stock up on your favorites and keep them close during sessions. Whether you’re a popcorn person, a charcuterie fan, or just need an iced coffee to power through, treat yourself while you learn!
PJs are Perfectly Acceptable
You heard us right, professional learning in pajamas is absolutely encouraged. This retreat is designed with your comfort and flexibility in mind, so feel free to ditch the dress code. Whether you're tuning in with coffee in hand or catching up on a session replay in the evening, you can learn at your own pace, in your own space.
Bring Your Teacher Besties
Great PD is even better with friends. Invite your colleagues to register and build a mini learning community. Whether you’re texting reactions, planning shared takeaways, or just knowing someone else is in the virtual room with you, this retreat is the perfect excuse for a little team bonding.
Learn from Anywhere
Headed out of town or taking a few unplugged days? No problem. As long as you’re registered, you’ll have access to all session recordings, materials, and resources, even after the retreat ends. That means you can learn from the beach chair, the back porch, or wherever summer takes you. Or, you can join live from your vacation with your laptop or phone!
Ready to Register?
Registration for the 2025 Summer Retreat is live, and you can choose the sessions that best meet your needs and the needs of your students. Whether you’re looking to build on existing skills or explore new strategies, this retreat has something for everyone. Each session qualifies for PD hours, making it a valuable opportunity for professional growth.
