Hi. I’m Ryan.

This was my desk.

It was Friday night and I had finally left around 10:30 or 11 pm.
I was trying to get everything done so I could enjoy my weekend and spend time with my family, but I just got too tired.

I decided to come back the following Saturday morning to finish.
“Sorry, kids, we have to work. Yes, even on the weekends.”​ (wife is a teacher, too)

Truthfully, when including many requirements, it can take an hour of planning for each quality, engaging, rigorous and relevant lesson.

...in addition to engaging with a variety of students for several hours a day, we know how you spend a lot of your personal "free" time...

"Free Time"

​Early mornings to campus.
Late evenings in the classroom.
Late nights at home.
Weekends.
Holidays...

"Free Time"

Last-minute copy line waiting.
Scouring the internet.
Running to colleagues.
Coaching sports.
Advising clubs.
Going to school.

"Free Time"

And...ugh... if you have to plan for a sub...

"Life of a teacher." I was told...
But does it have to be?

NO!

We are teachers. We are you.
We have been there.
We're not there anymore...

You don't have to be either.

Most online resources provide a worksheet or a presentation and you still have to create a plan around it.

For about $1.75 per weekday…

Detailed Lesson Plans
​
​​Lately, administration has been requiring detailed lesson plans. Ours include pacing, materials lists, technology use, higher-order thinking questions, standards-alignment, movement activities, guiding questions, real world connections, content synthesis, various types of assessments…

Presentations
​
​Guide the class or assign students to guide the class with complete presentations that include guiding questions, videos, images, text and questions.

Text Study
​
Full text to introduce, explain, inquire and revisit important points throughout the lessons that include detailed images to help students visualize concepts and make connections.

Practice Inquiries
​
​Scaffolded, open-ended questions that support higher-order thinking development in your learners within the lesson with opportunities for you to make corrections before they complete a graded assignment based on content knowledge

Assessments
​
How well did your students retain the knowledge or skills that were studied? Assessments come as quickly-gradable multiple choice and open ended inquiries – you choose which to use.

Digital Version
​
If your learners have access to computers, tablets or the use of smart phones, you can assign the digital (aka online) version of the lesson that includes all of the same content as the regular lessons. Easy to assign for days with subs or kids out sick through any LMS.

Curated Videos

​We have spent the hours it can take to find appropriate videos for each lesson. 

Organized Resources

​Get a little more of what you need quickly by accessing teaching and learning resources for your subject content.

Base, Level and Higher-Order Inquiries

​Engage and foster participation from all students in your class by using scaffolding questions.
 

Practice before Assessment

Class is the time to make mistakes. Practice inquiries and activities allow students to develop their knowledge in your class with your guidance to correct their comprehension and skills.

Engaging Images

Provoke emotion, consideration, empathy and inquiry with a wide variety of images that engages students.

Current Events

​Where applicable, we use current events to engage the students, careful to keep focus in the lesson content.

Bellringers

​Warm-ups. Do-now. Whatever you call them, as soon as the kids enter your room, they have something to engage their thinking in your subject based on their previous learning in your class.
