Hi Edufriends!

Every school year brings new challenges, but what stays the same? Your heart for students. Your creativity. Your desire to do it better, differently—even if you’re tired.

This is a first!

I created the Right Tools Teacher Cohort—a space for educators to recharge and reflect together.

Here’s what we’re covering:
✔️ Adapting curriculum to spark curiosity
✔️ Using AI tools to plan and differentiate
✔️ Free/low-lift resources to reignite reading
✔️ Writing routines that build skill and classroom community

Join one or all. And if you choose the full bundle, you’ll also get a free bonus coaching session with me to help turn all that learning into a classroom-ready plan.

📣 Early bird ends August 25. Payment plans available.

Each session is 90 minutes, includes editable resources, and centers the real questions teachers are asking right now. And if you register for all four? You’ll also receive a bonus 60-minute coaching + planning session with me.

📌 Early bird pricing ($225 for the full series) ends August 25. Single sessions are $100. Invite a friend, and you both get $25 off.
