Professional Development That Doesn’t Suck.
UNprofessional Development (UNPD) was born from one simple truth:
Teachers deserve better.
Better training. Better support. Better ways to actually handle the chaos of a real-life classroom without dying inside.
So we threw out the outdated PowerPoints, the soul-sucking lectures, and the “here’s a binder you’ll never open again” model—and we created something wildly different.
We make professional development that’s fun, practical, and actually works.
We’re talking belly laughs, real strategies, brain science, improv, movement, and tools you can use tomorrow morning when Kevin sticks a crayon up his nose.
Our Mission
UNprofessional Development (UNPD) exists to revolutionize professional development for early childhood educators by making learning engaging, practical, and rooted in real-life classroom experience.
We use fun, humor, science, and movement to deliver high-impact training that sticks.
Our goal is to deliver interactive continuing education that meets IACET standards while actually being enjoyable for the educators we serve.
What We Do
We train early childhood educators with sessions that are:
Backed by brain science
Delivered with performance-level energy
Packed with instantly usable strategies
Funny, because teachers need joy too
Designed to be remembered—not just attended
We offer:
-
In-person keynotes & workshops for conferences and staff training days
-
Online trainings & courses that are anything but boring
-
Certifications and CEUs that meet IACET standards (and don’t feel like punishment)
Who We Are
UNPD is led by Ron Shuali, M.Ed.—a nationally recognized keynote speaker, behavior specialist, and class-clown-turned-educator.
And backed by a small but mighty team who believes in shaking up the system (while keeping things organized, hilarious, and IACET-compliant).
Why “UNprofessional”?
Because being overly professional is overrated.
We believe real change happens when teachers can be real. When they’re having fun. When they’re moving, laughing, and learning in a way that makes sense to them.
We’re not here to check boxes.
We’re here to change lives—one wildly fun training at a time.
