Fueled by Passion: Sharpened by Experience & Stocked for Success
Date: August 13th, 2025
Time: 12pm CST/ 1pm EST
Description: What does it take to thrive for over 40 years in early childhood education—and still show up with a smile? Join this powerhouse duo, Teresa, the inaugural 2024 Early Childhood Educator of the Year, and her fellow veteran educator, soul sister, and partner in crime, Wanda, for a heart-filled, resource-packed session that blends real talk, belly laughs, and classroom gold. This one-hour brain break lunch session aims to blend stories from decades in the classroom with practical tools to refuel and inspire us all. We will cover all the bases, including “day one” stories, to those unforgettable “this is why I teach” moments, and you will walk away refreshed and stocked with resources to sow into your students and bloom right where you’re planted.
Come curious, leave recharged—and maybe even a little teary (in the best way)!
