About the store
You became a teacher to teach, not to spend every Sunday buried in planning. If you're the one everyone leans on, and you're quietly drowning underneath it all, you're exactly who I create for.
Hi, I'm Jennifer Oatts, a veteran upper elementary teacher. I began creating resources for my own students in 2004 and started posting them in this shop in 2013. For years, I was the teacher others turned to, and quietly drowning. What turned it around wasn't working harder - it was finally building a system that did: less planning, less grading, my weekends back. Now I help overwhelmed ELA teachers plan well, work less, and live more, because teaching well shouldn't mean living less.

Teaching style
I'm a big believer in Orton-Gillingham, a structured, systematic approach to reading and writing (think SOR before SOR was the buzzword). I keep whole-group instruction light and let students learn individually and in small groups. And I plan backward: every lesson and unit is designed from where students need to end up, built on the Understanding by Design framework. That backward-planning approach is the heart of everything just so® - start with the end, cut the busywork, and get your time back.
