I think we’ve spent far too long centering everything in schools around the needs of students—no matter the cost to educators.

We hear “students first,” “whatever it takes,” and “do it for the kids.” While the intention is good, this short-sighted approach ignores something vital:

Kids are deeply impacted by the physical and emotional well-being of the adults who teach them.

If their teachers are exhausted, frazzled, disrespected, overworked, and micromanaged … there’s no way they can consistently be the best version of themselves or provide the kind of learning experience children deserve.

​

This school year cannot be another one where you accept everything dumped on your plate in the name of “closing learning gaps.” Your students are not “behind” because you didn’t work hard enough. So working even harder won’t be the fix.

You could work 24/7 this year and it still wouldn’t be enough.

So, let’s try something different.

Join me LIVE in October for a fresh, sustainable approach to productivity

I’ve partnered with RocketPD to bring you a live, 5-week cohort experience where I’ll personally guide you through my most powerful productivity and mindset strategies for educators.

This is not about trying to cram more things in. We're focusing on:

• Identifying what’s truly the best and highest use of your time
• Creating systems that are flexible, efficient, and aligned with your values
• Simplifying everything that doesn’t actually make a meaningful impact

You’ll get live coaching from me + plenty of time to collaborate, share ideas with like-minded educators, and create actionable plans for implementing what you've learned.

Here's what you'll learn ...

We'll meet virtually every Thursday in October from 5:30-7:00 pm EST:

I truly believe that change is possible—for you, for your school culture, and for the profession as a whole.

But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with a decision to do things differently:

If that’s the kind of mindset you want to carry into this school year, I’d love to support you in making it happen.

Let’s create a new normal—one where thriving teachers are the strategy for helping kids succeed.

Group discounts are available and purchase orders are accepted. Seats are limited, and the live sessions begin soon!

Let’s build a sustainable approach to your work, together.
