Preview of Small Group Planning Guide

Small Group Planning Guide

A short planner for small group (also works for tutoring). I use this when I need to pull students for small group. My most used section is the notes section so I can keep track of student data. I keep these to track data over the year.

Syllabus (Designed for Middle Grades)

A syllabus designed with 6th-8th grade in mind, but it could also work for high school! I teach reading so all of the content on the syllabus is geared towards reading, but it is editable! I plan on using this for my 6th grade class to refer back to for assignments and other class policies. They will keep it in their class binders.

Preview of Digital Data Trackers

Digital Data Trackers

Preview of Action Goal Tracker

Action Goal Tracker

Action goals for students struggling with making good choices. Visuals next to the 5 goals, as well as a space for rewards. I give one to a student and they keep it for the week and carry it with them from class to class. After class, I have the student rate themselves. What they did well with. Then put points out of 5 (or however many goals they have).

Preview of Behavior Tracker

Behavior Tracker

This behavior tracker is used for keeping track of student behavior to help with conferences, goal setting, IEPs, and counseling. This has helped me be really targeted with specific interventions and behavior plans, as well as giving parents a view into certain issues students are having. The numbers at the bottom are what I write down for each day. This can travel with them from class to class or stay in your one classroom.

Teaching style

My teaching style is rooted in trauma-informed care, restorative justice, and community building, with a strong foundation in psychology and child development. I believe that learning happens best in safe, supportive environments where every student feels seen and valued. I also love bringing a little weirdness and humor into my lessons to spark curiosity, lower barriers, and make the classroom a place where students can relax and engage. My resources are designed to foster connection, creativity, and critical thinking while keeping things fun and meaningful.
