This virtual professional development workshop will leave you feeling inspired to engage your students in literature and prepared to help them master their ELA standards. Hosted by four secondary English teachers and supported by expert presenters, Keeping the Wonder Workshop is for educators who want to learn teacher-tested strategies to help their students master the standards while discovering the magic of learning.
To get the most out of this ELA PD, use it as a companion to our best-selling book Keeping the Wonder: An Educator's Guide to Magical, Engaging, and Joyful Learning. The modules in this workshop bring the pages to life by providing videos and resources that align with the four elements of wonder: surprise, curiosity, freedom, and inspiration.
Remember, magic, whimsy, and play don't have to end when standards begin. Join us for an interactive workshop where you will learn alongside educators who strive to create engaging classrooms full of wisdom and wonder!

You asked and we listened. Due to an outpour of requests to be able to attend this workshop virtually, we vowed to make it possible! We have been hard at work taking what we do at the live workshops and building a library of PD in video format. To make our virtual attendees feel just as special as our live guests, we are going to include last season's content, this season's content, and any future season's content to your Teachable account. We will also add you to our private Facebook group so that you can mingle and collaborate with both our live and virtual Wonder Workshop educators.
We hope that you join us!
