Our goal is to continually provide teachers with high-impact, research-based, best instructional practices, shown in action with a high level of student engagement to see true results with students. Each GYTO session is developed on the foundation of proven research based strategies within education.

In addition to the cited research above regarding overall best instructional practices, our GYTO presenters continue to integrate and include rigorous, content-specific research into their individual sessions, addressing grade level standards PreK-Middle School. This ensures that each session is specific and meets the needs of those grade-level teachers. The research below is integrated and embedded into your specific grade level sessions.
Research Citations and Standards Alignment for each session can be found throughout our Conference Guides for each Get Your Teach On Conference.
Our Dallas National Conferences are also aligned to TEKS. Please see the Conference Guides page for those standards and alignment.
