On-Demand Mini Course
Find out how all students can succeed in your class without additional workload with this evidence-based, sustainable teaching framework for English, ESL/EAL and Humanities. Get the step by step plan that shows you where to put your energy so that you can achieve more with less.
Are You Ready To Find More Balance In Your Life?
Do you feel burnt-out and overwhelmed as a teacher?
Do you wonder if sustainable teaching is even possible?
Do you have EAL/ESL students, low literacy students or students with learning difficulties in your class that cause you to spend HOURS trying to find resources or differentiating your classes for them?
As teachers we often blame our burnout on all the administrative requirements of our job. Or we think that if only we had more resources from others, we would be less stressed. Framing burnout in this way is disempowering because the solution relies on other people. What if I told you that sustainable teaching was possible and you can achieve it without external assistance? What if by changing the way you teach, you could reduce your burnout and stress?
We have all heard of Tomlinson’s differentiation by product, process, content or learning environment. We bust our guts trying to meet each student at their point of need. What if I told you that cognitive science and the Science of Reading provide us with a framework for creating curriculum and lessons that are automatically differentiated, with no extra work by you?
Join me in this mini-course to learn an evidence-based 4 step framework that reduces teacher burnout and ensures you are well on your way to preparing differentiated, high impact lessons in a short period of time.

What are the 4 Steps to Reducing Teacher Burnout?
Step 1:
Declutter Your Curriculum
Ensure student success and reduce burnout by teaching less. Use Essentialism and Cognitive Load Theory to determine what is essential.

Step 3:
Prepare for learning
Effortlessly differentiate your teaching by priming learning correctly according to the Science of Learning.
Step 4:
Write Your Own Playbook
Whip up effective lessons quickly using 5 repeatable and reusable strategies based on the latest literacy research.
What’s included in the Mini-Course?
Set aside 20 minutes a week for 4 weeks (or do it all at once if you’re keen!)
What are the benefits?
Professional learning focused on sustainable teaching practices is one of the best ways you can reduce your burnout.
The research on teacher burnout shows that burnout decreases when teacher autonomy and decision-making power increases.
The 4 Steps Mini Course is a plan that puts teachers FIRST. It will empower you to reduce your burnout without relying on others.
Who is Kaja?
I have a Masters in Education from Deakin University in Melbourne Victoria where I specialised in teaching English as an Additional Language. I am also a trained phonics instructor and trained in the Writing Revolution Method. Through presenting whole school professional learning and supporting teachers in the classroom, I saw the issues that were present in our teaching practice.
I started my journey as a Teach for Australia Associate teaching in disadvantaged schools. I became obsessed with finding what would work in the classroom and how to support my beautiful students who were struggling. At the same time, I focused on developing effective and sustainable teaching practices so that I only needed to work 8am-5pm with no weekend work.
I know that my strategies and professional development will put you on the path to more sustainable and joyful teaching.
