Hi, I'm Arielle! I design editable, plug-and-play self-paced learning templates. These tools simplify the hardest part: getting started. My slide templates, game boards, and learning trackers help you get started and stay organized. Empower students to take charge of their learning while you reallocate your time doing what you do best, personalizing learning for your students. Whether you’re coming from checklists, exploring the Modern Classrooms Project, or already deep into self-pacing—I’ve got you. With over 15 years experience in the classroom, I'm here to lower the barrier to entry to blended, self-paced, mastery-based learning for all the amazing educators like you that are ready to dive in with me! ❤

Teaching style
I began my career teaching whole group for the first year or two before shifting into a math workshop model. In 2017, I modified that to more of a self-paced model using playlists. In 2020, I discovered the Modern Classrooms Project and have slowly adapted more and more units to fit their model: blended, self-paced, and mastery-based learning. It has been a game changer!
