TESTIMONIALS
THE GYTO TEAM
“Thank you for serving us! What HOPE, WADE and the GET YOUR TEACH ON TEAM provide for us is more than what I could have ever asked for in my teaching career! The community, the friendships, the laughs, the joy, the fire, the new learning, and everything in between is so special in this organization that is now near and dear to my heart! I’m so glad I bit the bullet and decided on a whim to join all of you at your conference. It was seriously one of the best moments in my life that I will NEVER forget. Thank you for pouring your blood, sweat, and tears into GYTO! I hope to join you and all the other incredible people and educators again soon!"

AMELIA CAPOTOSTA
"Bringing Amelia Capotosta to our school for a mini Get Your Teach On workshop was the best professional development decision I have ever made as an administrator! Her passion, energy, and ability to connect with every teacher in the room made for a fun, memorable, and hands-on experience. Our staff felt empowered and inspired to get back into the classroom and eager to try the wide variety of new ideas they learned from the workshop. If you are looking to boost morale and reignite your staff's passion for the amazing work they do as educators, look no further than GYTO!"
