At West40, we believe every educator deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered — especially the specialist teachers in fine arts, physical education, world languages, special education staff, as well as paraprofessionals and SEL support staff like social workers, who work every day to uplift students behind the scenes.
Empower ED is our commitment to you:
Free, high-impact professional development tailored for your unique role
Opportunities to grow your skills, deepen your impact, and connect with peers
Sessions that celebrate the expertise and heart you bring to your work
We are proud to walk further with you — starting in August and continuing throughout the school year — because when we invest in every educator, we lift every student.
