About the store
Hi, I'm Tara! Welcome to Teach Without Tears, where I create differentiated lessons that make it easy to meet the needs of all your students. My guided math units, reading workshop lessons, and early finisher activities are designed for 1st–5th grade teachers who want engaging, standards-based resources that save time, reduce stress, and help every student succeed—without the tears!
I taught 3rd grade for 14 years and now teach online, where I continue to share my love of helping students learn and grow. Throughout my classroom experience, I discovered that differentiation was the key to unlocking every student’s success—and that inspired me to create resources that make it easier for teachers to do the same. When I’m not teaching or creating, you’ll find me spending time with my family or traveling to new places.
