Experience

We are a group of classroom teachers with 35 years of combined education background teaching grades 3 - 12. Our subject area backgrounds are diverse but we tend to focus on Math, Science, and ELA. Our goal is to provide ready to use lesson plans and curriculum units at a fair price to other teachers in need.

Teaching style

Our teaching styles focus on student centered learning and have been progressing toward a managing classroom instruction towards Project-Based Learning. We believe all students have the right and ability to learn and understand that teacher time should be spent providing instruction, feedback, support, and developing deep relationships with students, not countless hours writing lesson plans and units
