About the store
Welcome to No Prep School. Even though I’m new to TPT in 2018 I have been creating and selling online printable workbooks and courses for kids since 2007.

ALL MY MATERIAL IS SECULAR and follows the scientific method. I also have several years experience teaching fiction writing and online marketing for adults and have been a graphic and web designer since 2005.

Awards & shining teacher moments
In addition to having a master's degree in forensic toxicology, I am also a New York Times bestselling fiction author and five of my books have been optioned for TV by MGM Television. Even though I've had these courses offline for a few years, due to popular demand and intense curiosity whenever I do an interview, I’m making time to put them back up. I have more than 200 science courses in my database and almost all of them include a FREE BONUS fully-narrated, fully-interactive online course with complete text, activities, and tests. No email or registration required to access these bonus materials. They are live on my website for anyone to use. The BONUS materials are all free and will remain free forever as long as the site is online.
My own education history
I have an undergraduate degree in equine science from Colorado State University and a master's degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. ALL MY MATERIAL IS SECULAR and follows the scientific method.
Additional biographical information
I love science and teaching kids about science. Science is cool and I want to help them get excited about it. I love reading young-adult science fiction books (even though that's not what I write!) and I'm very excited to be back providing parents and classroom teachers with easy-to-use science materials. I will try to put up a new course each week so if you like my products please follow the No-Prep School store to be notified when they go live.
