Let me take you back to a Super Sunday morning in Seattle, November 2024, at the NAGC Convention. Something unexpected was cooking.
On that day, I joined forces with Stephanie Higgs, Andi McNair, and Justin Mitchell. Together we invited an overflowing room full of hungry eductors into a professional learning experience that we were calling Concocting Creativity.
What unfolded was more than a session.
It was the beginning of a movement.
We shared our Secret Recipe for creating memorable learning experieces comprised of a bold blend of research-backed strategies, spicy creativity, and a whole lot of heart.
The room buzzed with ideas.
Teachers laughed.
They leaned in.
They asked for more.
So we gave them more.
In January 2025, we gathered virtually and asked:
What if we stopped thinking like elephants (heavy with memory and habit) and started thinking like goldfish (quick, curious, and free to explore)?
That follow-up session marked the launch of something bigger:
✨ The Secret Sauce Society!
It's a growing community of educators hungry for innovation, connection, and purpose.
And now, we’re inviting YOU to join us for our most flavorful event yet:
🔥 SPARK & SPLASH 💦
Igniting Curiosity & Making Waves
🗓️ Live Virtual Event – July 21, 2025
đź’» Includes Full-Year On-Demand Access
đź’° Just $100 for a summer of transformation and a year of inspiration
🚨 Only 100 seats left!
This is not your average professional development.
It’s a 3-hour, high-energy experience where we’ll unveil 20+ brand-new, ready-to-use resources. All are grounded in our (not-so-secret recipe) based on some of gifted education’s best models and spiced up for today’s learners.
You’ll leave with strategies that spark curiosity, turn classrooms into idea incubators, and help you make a memorable splash from Day One.
We’re talking about:
âś… Tools you can use immediately
âś… A community that will carry you into fall and beyond
âś… A follow-up virtual session in October to keep the energy going
âś… And a whole lot of laughter, learning, and secret sauce
If you’re ready to teach with more joy…
If you’re tired of the same old sit-and-get…
If you’re craving creative strategies that WORK…
Then this is your invitation to pull up a chair at the table.
👉 Save your seat before they’re gone!
Let’s cook up something unforgettable!
With curiosity & a splash of boldness,
Brian, Andi, Stephanie, & Justin
