The Professional Development Teachers Actually Need

If you teach business, marketing, entrepreneurship—or any CTE course—you already know:

Most professional development isn’t built for you.

This Summit will be different!

This summit was created specifically for business education teachers first, with CTE educators in mind—focused on practical, real-world strategies that actually work in today’s classrooms.

And just as important: You deserve to feel valued, supported, and celebrated!

Are you feeling burnout?  This summit will re-ignite your love for teaching.

Designed for Business & CTE Educators

This summit is built specifically for teachers in:

  • Business Education
  • Marketing Education
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways

If your goal is to bring real-world relevance into your classroom, this experience is for you.

Built for Immediate Classroom Impact

📍Plug-and-play business and CTE lesson plans

📍Activities aligned to real-world skills and workforce readiness

📍Engagement strategies tailored for today’s learners

📍Practical tools you can implement right away

📍Renewed energy and confidence as an educator

Limited to 50 Educators — By Design

I am intentionally capping the attendance at just 50 attendees. 

Because business and CTE teachers deserve:

  • Individual attention
  • Time to collaborate and ask questions
  • A learning environment where you’re truly supported

This isn’t a large conference.

This is a personal, high-impact experience built around you!

Continuing Professional Education (CPE)

I am a certified Continuing Professional Education (CPE) provider in Texas. (Texas CPE #910043 – Crown Collaborative LLC is my company)

I am also an approved Act 48 Professional Development provider in Pennsylvania, so if you come from PA, you will get Act 48 PD credits.

My goal is to help business and CTE educators:

  • Earn professional development hours
  • Qualify for school district reimbursement
  • Use school or program funding
  • Get approved for time off for PD training

Convenient DFW Airport Location

The summit will be held in Irving, TX near the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) Airport, making it easy for business and CTE educators traveling from across Texas and beyond.  The conference hotel has a shuttle to and from DFW*, so you won’t need an uber or rental car. 

The Summit hotel address is:

Towneplace Suites by Marriott
Dallas DFW Airport North
4800 Plaza Drive
Irving, TX 75063

*FYI – The Hotel Shuttle is for DFW Airport only.  So if you fly Southwest into Love Field (the other Dallas Airport), you will not have an airport  shuttle to the hotel.  You will need a taxi, uber, or rental car to get to the Summit location.

To fly into DFW Airport → you’ll need to fly on airline like American, Delta, United, etc.
