For many in education, there is no greater feeling than the one that fills your heart when your guidance facilitates a breakthrough with a student. It could be a 7th grader or a teaching veteran of 30 years.  Either way, teaching and learning alongside another, reaching levels of achievement they had not envisioned for themselves, is a reward far greater than any paycheck.

This fulfillment drives many of the best professional development (PD) facilitators, just as it does those amazing educators in the classroom every day (some are even in both roles!). The Virginia Society for Technology in Education (VSTE) Professional Services Team (PST) is made up of such educators, all with impactful PD leading experience. They’re all driven by the passion to assist all educators to reach their goals, and, in turn, provide more technology enhanced opportunities for students within their classrooms.
