Maybe you’re trying to support upset parents, scared students, and anxious colleagues, nevermind the fact that you’re worried about integrating a half dozen new tech tools and figuring out how to teach an engaging English class without any of the usual go-tos you’ve carefully crafted over the years. 

Maybe your district is flip-flopping so much that you hardly know what to expect. Just when you think you’re almost ready, your LMS changes, your classes and rosters shift, and your system goes from blended to online, online to blended, or in-person to online. 

Maybe spring felt like a disaster, and you want to amp up your engagement, plan, and creativity this year, but your administration is asking you to teach multiple groups of students in multiple ways, and you’re so overwhelmed trying to process all the changes and arrange childcare for your own kids that you have no idea where to even start.

My friend, you deserve better.

​What if you had clear programs and tools that you could use each week to create a comfortingly solid educational experience for your students? (Not to mention for you).

What if you could teach with creative, flexible curriculum that could stand up to the scenario shuffle, leaving you feeling confident no matter how many times the district plans change? Because they're definitely going to change. That much seems clear. 

What if your work life was a stable factor in your day-to-day, bringing you joy and leaving you energy to exercise, spend time with your family, and fall asleep before midnight each night? It sure would be nice to look forward to teaching again. 

You’ve probably tried some of the “teacher self care” tips floating around out there. But summer breeze flavored bubble baths at midnight just don’t cut it when you’ve been working for fifteen hours straight. You need a reasonable work day to truly take care of yourself. 

Perhaps you’ve got forty-seven saved Facebook posts about blended learning, three Instagram collections of digital classroom ideas, and maybe a dozen or so Pinterest boards for inspiration. You’re not alone. But where’s the time to go through and turn them all into your plan for the shifting scenarios this year may bring? You need a blueprint, not an overflowing online shoebox. 

You might have attended a summer PD session or twenty, and have pages of notes to prove it. That's a wonderful start. But you need more than just advice. You need curriculum. Flexible plans that work in any scenario. Clarity. Support along the way.

What if teaching could bring

you joy this year?

Imagine if you woke up one October morning to the first red leaves in the trees outside your window feeling excited to launch your brand new podcast unit, confident that your instructions were clear, your tech was solid, and that your students would be proud of their efforts and outcomes. 

Imagine if you felt supported and inspired by the community of innovative educators around you, buoyed up by their positive energy and ideas, always knowing you could get help from another creative teacher when you needed it. 

Imagine if you had a solid, creative plan for school that would leave you time to hold onto the joys you’ve experienced this summer - taking walks in the sunshine, playing Uno with your kids, making dinners that don’t (always) come straight from the freezer. Warm chocolate chip cookies, anyone? 

Imagine having back-up in the storm. Knowing that when the scenario shifted suddenly, or you had to go into quarantine and hand over two weeks of sub plans that very day, or you needed an afternoon off to take care of your own child who was feeling sad and scared, you’d be OK. You’d have what you need.

While you may usually teach through your small illnesses like so many teacher do, this year you'll likely have to call in sick for any cold or stomachache that comes your way. Between that and the likelihood that large chunks of your school may need to quarantine for two weeks, wouldn't it be nice to know you've got a creative bank of sub plans you can trust?

In this growing library, you'll find a two week curriculum set in case you need it for quarantine, as well as plenty of daily options you can easily plug in in the middle of anything you might be teaching.
