About the store
Hi there!
I’m an educator with over 18 years of experience in both public and private schools. I’ve been a classroom teacher, an intervention resource teacher for 10 years, and now work as a learning specialist. Before that, I spent time in the behavior field, which taught me so much about how kids think, learn, and grow.
I’m also a mom, and my son inspires so much of what I do, from the resources I create to the little projects we enjoy together. I love designing ways to make learning fun and meaningful, whether it’s through Shining Star Educational Services or my more playful side, TW Inspired Creations.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy helping busy moms find little moments of calm and inspiration. On Instagram at Breathe, Bloom, Blessed, I share mindfulness tips and uplifting quotes, and through my Mindful Journal Club on Skool, I guide moms and kids in creative journaling practices that nurture both heart and mind.
I’m so glad you’re here! My hope is that the ideas and resources I share bring joy, spark creativity, and make learning a little brighter for both you and your students.

General Break_Work_Lunch Passes
These passes are an amazing tool all staff members can use to help communication when students need breaks or need to go somewhere else to work. I also included lunch passes. I use these passes all the time throughout the day (why I created them) and it has improved communication a great deal!! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Middle School Parent/Guardian Communication
I spent a lot of time creating this amazing parent communication log that correlated with our behavior system (color) in the classroom. This is a detailed log that serves as not only communication with parents and/or guardians but as a way to keep track of your student progress. The green, yellow, and red system was created specifically to help students who are habitually late and/or walk out of class. It can be taylored to any behavior you are working on. Please note this is a PDF - non edita

Teaching style
My teaching style is all about meeting students where they are and helping them grow from there. I like to keep learning hands-on, engaging, and meaningful. Giving students chances to explore, think, and create. I believe structure and flexibility can work together, so I try to balance both in my lessons. Most of all, I want students to feel supported, capable, and excited to learn something new every day.

Additional biographical information
Over the past 18 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students in both public and private schools, across a variety of grade levels and learning needs. My background as a learning specialist and former intervention resource teacher has given me a deep understanding of how diverse learners think and thrive. Outside the classroom, I’m always brainstorming new ideas, creating resources, and finding creative ways to make learning fun and accessible for all. I love connecting with other educators and sharing ideas that make a difference!
