Teachers Love RiseUp Workshops
"Teachers rarely get time to focus on us. RiseUp is an opportunity to connect with each other. I had tons of fun, met inspiring educators, learned some things, and leave with things to try. Today was invaluable."

"I'm certain in my abilities as a teacher but exploring all these new ideas and tools, alongside other teachers, has given me the confidence to try some new things and get even better results."
