For teachers who still find the kids hilarious
You love the profession. You belly laugh most of the school day. And you know in your gut there's a more fulfilling way to run a high school classroom. Juicy questions. Units built backwards. Students in the driver's seat.

sound familiar?
Your bookmarks are full of lesson inspo. But, planning still never goes the way you think it will.
You have big ideas for your classroom. Really good ones. Mock trials, gamified exam reviews, pen-and-paper annotations. Teaching invigorates you.
You're also the teacher who can't just buy something and assign it as-is. You add graphics. You swap the examples. You know your students pretty freaking well.
But, alas…
It's hard to make a unit feel like one thing when you're planning the night before, hunting for an activity that "just feels right."
here's what I believe
Start with a juicy question. Then get out of the way.
There's no values-free education
So name the values out loud, and ask the questions that matter.
Students rise to the standard you set
Put them in the driver's seat. They'll surprise you.
Plan it backwards, once
A unit built around one question saves you every night after.

hey, I'm Drea
10-year educator + curriculum specialist
Here's our trauma bonding moment that unites us forever: I, too, taught in a high school classroom post-COVID. I feel like we deserve extra letters at the end of our names for that one.
Since I started teaching, I've been obsessed with making planning (and the whole classroom experience) more efficient and more enjoyable.
After a decade of trial and error with a room full of hormone-ridden teenagers, I built a classroom culture that doesn't rely on me answering the same question a billion times.
I stand for
- guiding units with really good questions
- putting the students at the center
- play as part of learning
- educators as lifelong learners

A free library of teacher resources
A growing library of activities and templates. A 10-minute training on unit planning, a hub of short stories for high schoolers, warm-ups I used to survive the last month of school, and an exam review disguised as a game of street ball.
The little things I wish I'd had on Day 1. They're yours, free.
