In this bonus crossover episode of VIBE Edu and Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper, Kim Gameroz, and Mitch Weathers share everything you need to know about the Thriving Educators Summit 2026 and how it was born from a desire to help teachers move from surviving to truly thriving after years of running hard and lean in schools. Listeners will hear the story behind the free virtual summit, what makes its fast paced, highly practical sessions different from typical PD, and how districts are using past summit recordings as a no cost professional learning library all year long.​The crew also spotlights Kim’s Becoming the Bison session on intentional teaching and leading, Joshua and TJ’s new leadership focused session, and the growing speaker lineup that blends inspiration with concrete next steps educators can act on immediately. Finally, they preview the in person VIBE Edu event at the ARTIC in Anaheim and explain how both gatherings are designed to give educators community, clarity, and energy heading into a new school year.Thriving Educators Summit 2026: https://thrivingeducatorssummit.com/Vibe EDU Event 2026: https://www.teachinginsideout.com/vibe-edu#VIBEEdu #EducationalSystem #FutureOfEducation #TeacherLeadership #EdReform***Connect with our hosts:Kim Gameroz: https://www.selebrategoodtimes.com/Joshua Stamper: https://joshstamper.com/TJ Vari: https://theschoolhouse302.com/Mitch Weathers: https://organizedbinder.com/
