OK, admittedly, I might be biased in claiming I’ve created the best teacher planner this year has to offer.
But hear me out — as a former teacher and self-proclaimed planner addict, I have tried them all! I’ve scoured the Target planner aisles more times than I’m willing to admit, and the people at office depot know me for more than just my awesome pink hair.
I’ve even gone down the customizable teacher planner route – only to continue to tweak my pages and planner inserts. I finally figured out after years of messing with and customizing my own lesson planner and/or owning several to make it all happen that they're missing something. So what were they missing?
- CLARITY- Of course a planner will keep you organized and help you manage your tasks - but it's more than possible to work hard on the wrong things. Without a way to prioritize what truly matters to you and what will move your day forward, planners can turn into a cluttered storage unit for all the things you don't have time to finish. In a job where your work is never done, how can we find a better way to feel done at the end of a long day? How can we make sure we're doing the most important thing, and taking care of ourselves? It became clear that teacher self care was more needed than ever in the age of pandemic teaching. I decided to go all in and make what teachers truly need — an all-in-one lesson planner and self care solution. Read more about what you need to make sure your planner includes this year in my stories today.

Do you think it’s important to unplug around the holidays? I do, and that’s why I’m taking a few days off around Thanksgiving. This gives me WAY more time to recharge, EAT + DRINK with friends, and indulge in our family's yearly Lord of the Rings marathon. (All these cute weirdos ⬆️)
But never fear, I’ll be back just to continue serving you with great free pd for world language teachers and continuing to support the Practical Proficiency power teachers. And just in time for an amazing Cyber Monday deal for planners! Stay tuned for all the deets… And who knows... I might move a treadmill next to my desk to make up for the calorie indulging!! On the eve of your very well-deserved break, leave those dang papers behind. No grading, no PD, no nuthin' for a few days is the most liberating experience during break. I'll be honest though, I used to always catch up on some quality PD after a few days off to get me stoked for the new semester. So tell me: are you unplugging this holiday season? Are you completely no-teacher-stuff this break, or recharging with a lil' PD on the side? #teacherinspiration #highschoolteacher #teachersinpireteachers #elementaryteacher #teacherlife #worldlanguageteacher #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinsta #teacherssupportteachers #educators #teachershare #teacherinspiration #teachersofthegram #familybreak #teacherbreak #instateacher #teacherstuff #educatorsofinstagram #iteach #teachergram #teachersofig #iteachtoo #teacherlife #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #education #teacher #teacherselfcare

This book helped me realize that I was making a huge mistake. Ready for the secret? I’m a total finance nerd. I love everything about money & money management. I love nothing more in life than building a better future for my family and myself. But I’m a teacher at heart...so I had to work to ditch the TOXIC broke teacher mindset. I’m not ashamed that I love the freedom that financial security and money affords me and I’m deeply grateful for that. Instead of treating it like a dirty secret, money is empowerment - a tool to reach goals like buying a house and having a REAL emergency fund. Sending my kid to college one day? I’m not ashamed to want that. No student loans? Not ashamed of that dream either. What kind of impact would you have? Think of the local businesses you can shop at, causes you can support & donate to, and dreams you can work towards. Does money still sound taboo when you see the good it does? No way. Yes, you should be paid WAY more for what you do. I felt that pain too. But in the meantime, while we keep up that fight, read this book 📚 because financial security is not something you should be ashamed of. Here's how it changed my life and helped me prevent a bunch of debt:
I did the math and figured out that the masters’ program I was in would actually cost me MORE in student debt rather than make me more money with my state’s pay structure - so I left the program. This book is a beginner’s guide to finance, written by a fellow teacher. You don’t have to make oodles of cash 💰 to be smart with what you’ve got. Let’s eliminate the taboo around money - it is NOT the root of all evil. It’s just a tool that good people use for good. For you and me, using money to create a better future for ourselves and our families is something to be proud of 💪 For this libro lunes, drop me a superhero emoji 🦸🏼 if you’re ready to let your money empower you! #wealthmindset #broketeacher #teacherproblems #millionaireteacher #booksforteachers #teacherbooks #teachertalk #teacherpd #teachersinspireteachers #teachertips #teacherlife #happyteacher #mybookshelf #audible #bookrecs #teachersfollowteachers #teacherhacks
