SESC Winter Learning Series: The Connected Teacher

We are excited to bring back the Connected Teacher training we offered last summer! Our new Winter Learning Series begins on January 22nd! Teaching has never required more heart, resilience, or emotional energy. This 8-week series is designed to support you as a person first and a teacher second, so you can show up grounded, compassionate, and strong in 2026. You’ll gain practical tools to use in real time, even in tough classrooms, long days, or difficult seasons.

This professional development will only be available online. That means you can learn comfortably from home! Sessions will be held on Thursdays from 4 pm to 5 pm starting January 22, 2026.

Please use this link to register:  https://forms.gle/qSsAKn5Y3PyFbqn29

Registered participants will receive a digital workbook they can print or use digitally (with Adobe or another PDF editing program) to take notes and access key information from each session.

This is an all-day (8:30-3:30) civic training for secondary civics teachers only. We will be discussing primary sources and civic content as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary! If you missed our Civic Educators Conference at UVU in October, this is an on-site version of that conference.

UVU will provide:

  • substitute reimbursement (paid directly to your district upon completion of training)
