Maybe you're a teacher because you had a great teacher as a kid (or the opposite 😬). Perhaps you took a service trip and learned you have an altruistic streak (lol, like me)

Any way you slice it, if you’re here, you are driven to do your best in service of the next generation.

After some time in the classroom, you might start wondering “how can we be asked to do our best when it seems that the schools aren’t trying their best?”

Schools across the nation seem to have figured it out- they (and only they) have the correct formula that will guarantee children will learn what they need to succeed “in college and career”

But curricula seem to be delivered from a dusty old box instead of being updated for the modern learner. Admin leans on you to improve your test scores, so all your novel ideas about how to teach a novel study go out the window in favor of rote memorization (gross).

It’s a bummer, to say the least.

Every single teacher deserves to become the impactful educator they dreamed of being. In a perfect world, every school district would provide professional coaching to keep dedicated, talented educators in front of students to share in the joy of learning.

But we live in America, so we invest in education just enough to teach an out-of-touch, white-washed curriculum for the kids in the middle of the bell curve.
