I'm all about working smarter and not harder!! In the Heart of Marketing Academy, I'm going to show you how you can use the same few pieces of content to make money in several differe...

Last year, I was able to replace my teacher salary in less than 3 months through freelancing. It's been a literal GODSEND. This gave me the security and breathroom to work on things like my TPT store, the blog, this podcast, and other projects (both for fun and for money). Freelancing gave me the confidence and courage I needed to quit teaching full-time so I can really pursue this online business thing. If you know you need to make money like YESTERDAY, freelancing could be a path to freedom fo...

If you're anything like me, you've seen how ineffective pacing guides can be. They're especially annoying when you KNOW your students aren't ready to move on yet, and when you have students at different levels in your classroom.

She shares practical tips and takeaways that you can run with next week, if you want to try it out! -------------------- LEA...

Inclusion. Community. Diversity. Equity. Equal opportunity. Differentiation. Socio-emotional learning. After a while, it's easy to get a little sick of the buzzwords as an educator. And what's worse, is that schools will often start these initiatives with no idea of HOW they want teachers to do all of this. In actuality? I don't think they even know what they mean, or HOW to truly be inclusive in the classroom. This is what I talk through with Melinda Arnost who's the author of the book Empoweri...

Have you ever wished that your students would just be more engaged with their learning? I get it. I've been there, too. But, what does engagement mean, anyway? And how can you be sure that you're getting true engagement, and not just compliance?
