Michael Bonner’s New PD: Systems That Spark Student Growth

What if your teachers could reignite their passion for the classroom and see extraordinary growth in their students?

That’s exactly what award-winning educator and international keynote speaker Michael Bonner is delivering with his brand-new mid-year professional development experience.

In the video above, Michael shares how his 4th and 6th-grade students didn’t just meet growth benchmarks this year — they tripled them. One student achieved an incredible 900% growth, while many others reached 600–700% gains. His secret? Engagement strategies powered by AI and proven systems for success.

Michael believes, as author James Clear puts it, “Goals are for people who want to win once. Systems are for those who want to win repeatedly.” And he’s bringing those systems straight to schools in a fresh, innovative PD format designed to give teachers:

  • Practical engagement strategies that can be applied right away

  • Tools for integrating AI in meaningful and effective ways

  • A renewed sense of joy and purpose in their classrooms

After seven years of leading professional development sessions across the country, Michael knew it was time to shake things up. This new experience isn’t just another PD — it’s a powerful reset for teachers who need encouragement, resources, and fresh ideas to finish the year strong.

If your school or district is looking for a mid-year boost that blends inspiration with actionable strategies, Michael Bonner is ready to help.
