Get Energized for the New School Year With T³™ Professional Learning
Posted 05/19/2023 by Kevin Spry and Erica Schiller
Summer is almost here! Are you ready for some fun in the sun? Summer break is an important time for teachers to recharge, and it’s also a time when educators often take advantage of flexible schedules to participate in a range of professional learning events.
This summer, there are a variety of ways to continue building on your teaching expertise through the T³™ professional learning organization. You’ll learn hands-on with TI technology and get new resources and lessons to engage students in the new school year.
Let’s take a dive into what’s on the horizon.
T³™ Summer Workshops
You can choose from in-person and virtual workshops covering everything from ACT® and SAT® exam prep to calculus, coding, TI technology skills and more. Each workshop provides 12 hours of in-depth learning by focusing on a specific topic and support materials. We understand it’s important to have the graphing calculator to take with you, so TI technology is included with your registration.
“[Our instructor’s] ability to deal with many different levels of pre-knowledge was fabulous. I can’t remember a PD where I learned this much and, thanks to her teaching methods, I feel like I have every possibility of retaining it!” — Beth Boas, T³™ Workshop attendee
Select your workshops
T³™ Regional Summits
Looking to explore a number of different topics using your TI graphing calculator? Join a regional summit and choose your sessions for a customized one-day learning experience. Summits will be held in Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan and Texas this summer.
AP® Precalculus strand
If you’ll be teaching the new AP® Precalculus course this next school year, the Texas summit is the one you’ll want to attend. It will feature a four-session track focused on teaching this new course from AP® Precalculus experts.
As with summer workshops, you’ll also receive TI technology with your regional summit registration.

“The summit provided something for everyone. It reached beginners to experts. High expectations, experience and productivity was in the air! I wish I had brought more teachers from my school!” — Sajata Latten, T³™ Regional Summit attendee
T³™ Webinars
Another opportunity for professional learning this summer is our library of recorded webinars. Find webinars on TI technology, math and science topics, and more. You can learn on your schedule, at your own pace.

A new lineup of live webinars is kicking off at the end of July. Mark your calendar and get ready to learn with us.

“I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the calculator and its capabilities, but I learned a lot in an hour. The presenters were excellent.” — Stephanie Smith, T³™ Webinar attendee
2023 Virtual T³IC
While it’s technically not happening this summer, we recommend you also save the date for the 35th annual T³IC taking place on Sept. 30. Registration is free in honor of the 35th anniversary of this conference. And, like our weekly webinars, we’ll be holding a drawing for a TI graphing calculator in each of the live sessions. More chances to win!
The program features:
- Paul Gray, President of NCSM, as the keynote speaker.
- A panel discussion and breakout sessions on teaching AP® Precalculus.
- A panel discussion and breakout sessions on teaching AP® Calculus.
- Sessions on teaching strategies, test prep, coding, STEM and more.
All of the conference sessions will be recorded and available on demand after the event.
We’ll be back with an all-new virtual #T3IC bingo scavenger hunt as well!
“All of the sessions that I attended were engaging and thought-provoking. Even after teaching math for 32 years, I can always learn something new.” — Pamela Rawson, T³IC attendee

We look forward to learning with you this summer and throughout the upcoming school year!
