Your favorite summer PD is back & reimagined for 2026!
2026 Soar to Success Summit
From Overwhelmed to Empowered:
Supporting Preschool Behavior with Confidence
SOUND FAMILIAR?
When you're running on empty and
every day feels like a behavior battle....
Your days are dominated by challenging behaviors, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed.
You struggle to talk to families about behavior because it's a skill you weren't taught.
You love teaching
but some days, you
wonder if you can keep doing this.
You're wondering how to find time to teach when you spend all day responding to behaviors.
It doesn't have to be this hard.
When you understand why behavior happens, you can respond with confidence instead of frustration.
The Soar to Success Summit isn't about doing more—it's about understanding more.
✨ So teaching feels clearer, calmer, and more sustainable.
TRAINING DESIGNED OR YOU!
Practical PD for Tough Teaching Days

YOUR HOST
Hi! I'm Vanessa Levin
You might know me for my Pre-K and kindergarten curriculum, my bestselling book Teach Smarter, or my podcast with over 675,000 downloads.
But before all of that—I was a Pre-K teacher for more than 20 years, figuring things out on my own. I stayed late. I worked weekends. I built everything from scratch just to make learning work for my students. That experience led me to write my district’s Pre-K ELA curriculum and support 40+ teachers as an Instructional Specialist.
This summit—and Teaching Trailblazers—exists for the teacher I was then and the teacher you are now. A lifeline of practical PD, real support, and strategies you can actually use—without burning yourself out. ❤️
