As a brand-new teacher, I am so grateful for the Loverde Group in helping me earn the credits I need to become class 8 when itʻs available in SY ʻ25-ʻ26. Dave and Joeʻs courses were informative and applicable to everyday teaching. As a probationary teacher, there are so many new things to manage like regulating and complying with EES, schoolwide “best practices” and initiatives, acclimating to data team processes and compliance, department, team, and academy initiatives and responsibilities. While balancing all of those new work obligations and duties, I was still able to manage taking professional development classes and earn credits to move up the salary schedule. Thank you Dave and Joe for your relevant insight, contemporary perspective, and passionate zeal for learning, but more so for your commitment to supporting teachers. I highly recommend taking PD courses through The Loverde Group!

Joe Loverde’s classes are the only way we were able to move up to Class 7 in a relatively fast time frame. We took every course Loverde offered, and were happily surprised with how engaging the courses were and the amount of support that we received. The workload was doable while teaching full time and the content was applicable to our everyday instruction. Dave and Joe are great and really want to provide teachers with meaningful courses that help them get to the top of the payscale!

I loved Joe Loverde’s and Dave Dunaway’s classes. I have taken many of their classes. Both men were very supportive with great ideas and suggestions when I felt stuck. I like the perspective and angles of how they teach their classes. They are true believers in loving our profession. I have now been at Class 7 for a few years and it feels great. I have suffered through many endless PD’s for credits, but Loverde’s and Dunaway’s classes were the most enjoyable, inspiring and worthwhile. Marie Aguilar (23 years teaching).

Joe’s experience and knowledge of education uplifts teacher to make real changes in their classrooms. His positive vibe and enthusiasm during his PD courses keeps everyone motivated and wanting to learn more to support themselves as well as their students.
