10 Ways to Learn with Shake Up Learning This SummerSummer is short. Make it count.

Y’all, I want you to have the best summer of your teaching career — and that doesn’t mean you have to be glued to a screen all day or sitting through boring webinars. I’m talking PD on the patio with your iced coffee. PD in your PJs on a rainy Saturday morning. Learning that actually fits your life and fills you back up instead of draining you dry.

We’ve packed this summer with resources, trainings, book studies, and more — and right now, during Teacher Appreciation Month, you can unlock ALL of it at 50% off.

10 Ways to Learn with Shake Up Learning This Summer


1. Free Summer Learning Series

Let’s start with the best word in the English language: FREE.

The Summer Learning Series is open to every educator — no membership required. Each session is focused, practical, and designed for teachers who want to grow without the overwhelm. Grab your sweet tea, find a comfortable spot, and learn something new without spending a dime.

Bonus for ALL ACCESS members: You’ll get access to exclusive bonus sessions AND earn credit certificates for your professional learning hours. That’s the kind of upgrade that pays for itself.

2. Gemini AI in Google Classroom Master Class

Google educators, this one is for you. This master class goes deep on Gemini AI inside Google Classroom — not just what it is, but how to actually USE it to save time, personalize learning, and plan smarter.

This isn’t a “here’s what’s available” overview. This is hands-on, practical training you can apply immediately.

This master class is included with ALL ACCESS — and during Teacher Appreciation Month, you can join for just $32.50 for the whole quarter.

AI for Classroom Management by Kasey Bell

Classroom management is one of the heaviest things teachers carry — and AI can genuinely lighten the load. We’re talking communication templates, behavior documentation, parent messaging, routines, and systems that save you real time.

This isn’t about replacing your judgment. It’s about using smart tools so you can focus on what actually matters.

The AI for Classroom Management book and cheat sheet are available to purchase individually in the store — or join ALL ACCESS, and they’re included with everything else.

Back to School with AI: The Teacher's Guide

I know it feels early to say this, but back-to-school is coming. And teachers who spend a little time preparing in June and July show up in August feeling READY instead of scrambling.

Back to School with AI: The Teacher’s Guide gives you everything you need — AI-powered strategies, planning tools, templates, and practical tips to get ahead of the chaos before it starts. This is the resource I wish every teacher had as they head into a new school year.

This is the perfect way to close out a summer of learning and carry everything you’ve learned into a confident, strong start.
