TheExhaustedTeacher is specifically designed for you. Here is why.
Are you a stressed, overworked and overwhelmed teacher? I am here to help. I understand you, I was a stressed, tired teacher who loved my job but felt like it was not sustainable. Additionally, I consistently heard from teachers that they didn’t know how to support students that were struggling, I wanted to help all these teachers, but I was just one person. Professional training is prohibitively expensive and needs to be paid for by your school, and even when it is, there is never enough time to implement the learnings to make a difference in your classroom.
I will help you work less and reduce your stress. My strategies will free up your mental load so that you can focus on doing the things in your classroom that you love; like relationship building. I will give you the classroom building blocks so that you can then build the house of your dreams.
After hearing the same struggles from so many teachers, I decided to create accessible resources that can improve teacher’s lives quickly but at the same time are cost friendly so there is no need to rely on your school approving the training. I want to transform teacher’s lives in the long term, not just provide a lesson or unit plan which means you will need to find another one when the lesson or unit is over.
I will provide you with a framework for how to structure your teaching. It is professional development but with clear actionable steps that can be implemented relatively quickly. You will understand the pedagogical theories and science of learning, but then I will show you how to implement this in straightforward ways that will change your approach to teaching.
