Does your passion for teaching need to be reignited? Join the SST6 as Lisa Murphy, the Ooey Gooey Lady, joins us for a full day of learning. We will begin with a Keynote where teachers will rediscover their passion for teaching while making each day count for every child. Following the keynote, participants will partake in two workshops around integrating play into their teaching and strategies for story writing. Time will be built in for hands-on activities and reflection. All participants will gather in person while the guest speaker will join us virtually. This event will serve as a Kick-Off for our Early Learning Networks and services for the 2024-2025 school year.
