Picture this: You, in your comfiest PJs, coffee in hand, logging into a professional development session you actually chose for yourself—not one that admin forced on you. There’s no mandatory training that has nothing to do with your actual job and takes away from your planning time. Just real, relevant, free PD that meets you where you are in a “choose your own adventure” style.

Even better, you can join educators from across the country and collaborate on topics that resonate with you. Plus, you can take advantage of this free PD on your own time—joining us live or on demand—and even earn recertification credit along the way.

Are you an introvert? This conference is for you. No cameras, no awkward breakout rooms, and you can engage as much or as little as you want in the chat.

More of an extrovert? Jump in, share your ideas and connect with thousands of educators who get what you’re going through.

Somewhere in between? The best part? You set the pace.

It sounds like a breath of fresh air, right? A chance to step away from the noise and focus on what actually helps you and your students.

But the reality outside our classrooms? That’s a different story.

Why This Conference Matters

This isn’t your typical “here’s another PD requirement” kind of conference. The Share My Lesson Virtual Conference, proudly sponsored by EquIP-HQ, Waste Hero Education and H-IQ, is designed to respect your expertise, your time and your reality as an educator in 2025.

Some highlights:

  • Defending Democracy—sessions on civic education, misinformation and the future of public education, because this fight is bigger than just our classrooms.
  • Real-World Strategies—From AI in the classroom to diversity, equity and inclusion (despite the attacks on DEI), we’re diving into actual tools you can use right now.
  • Teacher Solidarity—Because you are not alone in this mess.

Plus, we have a rock star lineup for our keynote sessions:

And let’s be honest: It’s also an excuse to rock your best work mullet—business on top, sweatpants on the bottom—and learn from some of the best educators in the country.

And Because You Deserve It, We’re Giving Away Oura Health Rings!

Let’s talk about you for a second. You’ve spent the school year juggling lesson plans, grading, and every “quick” email that turned into a full-blown crisis. It’s exhausting.

That stops now.

As part of the conference, we’re giving away three Oura Rings—because your health and well-being matter just as much as your students' success​.

💍 What’s an Oura Ring? It’s like having a wellness coach on your finger—tracking your sleep, activity, and stress levels so you can feel more energized, balanced, and (dare I say?) human again.

🎉 How to Enter: Sign up here first

And, here’s how you can collect bonus points and increase your chances of winning: Register for the virtual conference sessions, and check your confirmation email for bonus entry codes.

📅 Sweepstakes are open through Friday, April 4—so don’t miss out!
