Trying to Succeed in the Classroom is Overwhelming
If you don’t have the right support…
You exhaust yourself trying to find resources that truly enhance student learning.
You feel isolated without a professional community to share insights and solutions.
You feel ill-equipped to deal with parental concerns and expectations.
All of that leads to stressful days and feeling constantly overwhelmed.
We don’t want that for you.
The linked Conference has equipped thousands of Upper Elementary teachers with strategies for effective classroom management, engaging ELA instruction, and tools to simplify their teaching workloads for good.
Our methods will work for you, too.
Here’s what you get…
Pre-Recorded Sessions
NEW THIS YEAR: We know many of you are in need of extra income or even considering leaving teaching all together. So we’ve brought in several teachers who have found success outside of the classroom. They’re going to teach you how they did it so you can too.
30 sessions on topics important to ELA teachers in grades 3-6. They’re pre-recorded so you can watch them when it’s convenient for you.
Classroom & Teacher Resources
Each speaker created a free resource to help you implement what you learn. Some are designed to help you simplify your teaching life and others are for use with your students.
Plus daily raffle drawings where you can win tools for your classroom and yourself.
Live Speaker Chats & Panels
An interactive portion of the event where you meet the speakers and ask questions live. Can’t make the live? No problem! We’ve included a way for you to submit your questions ahead of time.
Every year, participants tell us these chats and panels are their favorite part of our conference!
PD Certificate of Attendance
Each participant receives a professional development certificate for 24 clock hours. Participants are responsible for confirming credit requirements with their individual district. Acceptance of the conference certificate is not guaranteed.
Need college credit? We can help you with that, too. See this page for more information.

Sounds great, but…
We understand deciding to invest in PD can bring up a few hesitations.
Here are some of the common concerns we hear, along with our responses:
"It's too expensive."
We've priced linked to be as accessible as possible, recognizing the budget constraints we’re all facing right now.
Compared to in-person events, our virtual format eliminates travel and accommodation costs, making it the most affordable PD option for Upper Elementary teachers.
Plus, the value you'll receive from our actionable content and resources far exceeds the cost of registration.
"I've attended other PD events and didn't find them useful."
We hear you! That’s why linked is different.
Our sessions are tailored specifically for Upper Elementary ELA teachers and focus on practical, actionable strategies that you can immediately implement in your classroom.
We're committed to providing high-quality, relevant content that addresses the specific challenges and opportunities you face.
"PD days are already overwhelming."
Linked is structured specifically to avoid adding to your overwhelm.
Sessions are short, focused, and packed with practical ideas you can implement right away.
With access up to six months, you can take your time viewing the sessions - and rewatch them as many times as you need once the school year begins.
Don’t let another year go by feeling unsupported and uninspired.
Register for linked today and start the new year with confidence, equipped with new ideas and resources.
Imagine walking into your classroom, equipped with practical, actionable strategies that engage your students and enhance their learning.
Picture a professional life where you feel continuously supported, with ongoing access to a community of peers and experts who cheer you on.
That’s what linked offers.
Still unsure?
