Authentic Education’s Summer 2025 Professional Development Series
High-quality, small group professional development for teachers and school leaders.
UbD Retreats
AE’s signature UbD retreat returns for 2025 with expert-led PD in a small-group, collaborative setting. Teachers will design high-quality, “ready to teach” units as part of this 2-day experience, as well as access to a library of Understanding by Design resources and support.
Leading UbD Work
Building on the “Train the Trainer” workshop offered by the late Grant Wiggins, this 3-day workshop will equip educational leaders with strategies, skills, and resources to successfully lead and foster Understanding by Design work in their schools and districts.
Inclusive Curriculum Design
Offered in partnership with Humanizing History, this 3-day intensive will expand your thinking about best practices for including underrepresented voices, untold stories, and broader perspectives into your curriculum design, resulting in more inclusive and culturally expansive UbD units.
At AE, we do PD the way PD should be.
We deliver highly effective professional development that:
Models the types of learning we value in our classroom.
Leverages the expertise and meets the needs of those in the room.
Equips and empowers attendees to immediately apply what they’ve learned.
Fosters meaningful collaboration.
