Hi there ELA teachers . Caitlin here , ceo and co-founder of EB Academics , I'm so excited you're choosing to tune into the Teaching Middle School ELA podcast .
Our mission here is simple to help middle school ELA teachers take back their time outside of the classroom by providing them with engaging lessons , planning frameworks and genuine support so that they can become the best version of themselves both inside and outside of the classroom , and we do this every single day inside the EB Teachers ELA portal .
This is a special place we've developed uniquely for ELA teachers to access every single piece of our engaging , fun and rigorous curriculum so that they have everything they need to batch plan their lessons using our EB Teacher Digital Planner that's built right into the app .
Over the years , we've watched as thousands of teachers from around the world have found success in and out of the classroom after using EB Academics programs , and we're determined to help thousands more .
If you're interested in learning more , simply click the link in the podcast description and in the meantime , we look forward to serving you right here on the podcast every single week . Well , hello teachers and happy 2025 .
Hard to believe it is already a new year , but I am really excited and looking forward to what I'm calling in this year , which is ease , and looking forward to what I'm calling in this year , which is ease , joy and trust . And I invite you , as always , to do the same thing and call in an intention that you have for yourself as you embark on another year .
With that being said , I am coming to you today on this new year January 1st 2025 , to share with you that , after years and over 300 episodes on the podcast , we will be taking a short hiatus from the podcast .
We're not going anywhere , we're just taking a break for the next three to six months , and the reason being is that we are going to be reviewed by Ed Reports . On April 1st is when they start aggregating our materials , and it's about a 20 to 25-week process that we will be embarking upon .
And , with that being said , there are all kinds of enhancements that we get to add to our curriculum to ensure that we don't only pass , but we pass with flying colors , because we want to make sure that the materials and curriculum that we are providing for middle school ELA teachers is the best that it can possibly be .
And so , because of that , our entire team , all of our resources , all of our energy , all of our efforts are going to be allocated to making sure that that happens , and so it's a new time here at EB .
It's a new chapter in the journey of our company and the way that we get to support teachers like you in the classroom , and while we will deeply miss you , and I hope that you will miss us too , consider this a goodbye for now and arrivederci . See you later .
This isn't forever , but for a short period of time , and if you are into sending us positive thoughts , good energy and prayers , our way that this new chapter and this journey to getting approved by Ed Reports goes well for us and we are able to pass with flying colors , we will gladly receive that . I'm wishing you a wonderful 2025 .
And I mean that from the bottom of my heart . I really hope this year is a special year for you , a fantastic year for you , a year that maybe invites you to grow , to look at your life in a different way , to truly become the person that you were put on this earth to become , because I know that's what I'm calling in for myself in 2025 .
All right , you guys , without further ado , we'll see you in a couple of months . Happy New Year .
