I had the chance to join some fellow teachers at a mini-conference in a town about an hour away from our school. The district paid for us to stay the night and attend workshops and lectures for two days. It is the first time I have done this, and I had a blast! Does your school or district have these opportunities? It was fun to increase my knowledge but also stay in a different place at the same time.

I love when schools/districts invest in professional development like that. It’s so refreshing to step out of the classroom, learn new things, and experience a change of scenery. My district offers some workshops, but nothing quite like a two-day event. I’m definitely jealous!

Don't be! It wasn't super fancy or anything but still.. it was something. I hope your district can do something like this for you soon!
