being a teacher is a high calling…

It is absolutely possible to be an effective classroom teacher who meets the needs of your students while building lasting relationships without all of the stress. I’m here to share simple tips & easy to implement ideas that will save time so you can spend time with your family, start that teacher side hustle, or prepare to exit the classroom.
Teaching Math

Teaching Literacy
Literacy is defined as “the ability to read & write.” To read, children must process language including letters, sounds, & words which leads to fluency & comprehension. To write, a child must be able to grasp a writing tool properly & understand spelling, grammar, & context. We cover all that and more in this section.

Life skills are the ones we want our students to master as soon as possible. Everything from character building, growth mindset, & goal setting to basic skills like how to type & establish good handwriting practices. In this section, we explore a HUGE variety of topics, but the one common denominator is they’re ALL essential to success!
