I help teachers enhance their teaching skills by providing personal coaching, classroom resources, and best practices.
I am very passionate about helping teachers become successful in the classroom. I want to share the things I’ve learned over my 20-year teaching career so that teachers will know how to create a more productive instructional environment, how to motivate students which will increase student engagement, achievement, and retention, as well as how to manage student behavior.
I began my online teaching store in 2014.
Early on in my teaching career, I realized that, in order to become the teacher I envisioned for myself, I first needed to learn how to control the classroom. Without that, trying to teach is a never-ending battle.
But with it, you can move forward and actually implement the dreams and ideals about teaching that inspired you in the first place. This is the great transformation I offer you. And once it happens, guiding a class of highly focused kids on engaging projects can be a tremendous amount of fun.
This realization about controlling the classroom led to my first eBook: Get Started on the Right Foot (available on Amazon). It reflects my deeply held belief that “old school” can solve many of today’s “new school” challenges.
As an elementary school teacher, I sought to learn what motivated my students so that I could differentiate and meet the needs of each. My resulting management style was structured overall, while still giving kids the chance to make assignment choices when appropriate.
Mainly, I wanted students to have a high time on any given task. That aligned with the motto: “All the children, all the time.”
