Time Management Strategies for Classroom Teachers
Hey there teacher! Do you struggle to fit it all in? Is work-life balance something that only other teachers can achieve?
You're ready to teach more with less time spent trying to figure out what's coming next.
You're ready to have real conversations with friends after contract hours, instead of only having enough time to "like" their social media posts.
You're ready to love teaching again and go home feeling energized instead of deflated - and continue that feeling when you get home to work towards your own personal life goals.
I'll show you how to do more at school and less at home - while leaving school at your contract time each day.
So you can create more balance, a sense of freedom, and still find time to fit it all in.
"Thank you for all you do to pour into us teachers out here.
I took your Teacher Balance Life Academy… during it I joined up with a teacher in the Midwest as an accountability partner. We haven’t met in person yet, but we want to. We are still friends.
Thank you for being the facilitator of that! The class has been very helpful… and when I get disorganized, I just go back to what we learned…and start over." ~Hilary
All the information you need to plan out your own personalized balanced life plan.

You won't be doing this alone. Here's your personal 4 week support system:
-You have a career in education.
-You're looking for a proven process for setting up routines within your work and home spaces.
-You're willing give new things a go (even if they are outside your comfort zone).
-You will put aside time each week to invest in yourself and your work-life balance systems.
-You do not need more effective systems in your classroom and home.
-You prefer to take home piles of papers nightly after work.
-You have found a way to keep your house dust-free with little extra time spent from you.
-You are satisfied with your career and home life balance. It is like a fairy tale.
-You aren't interested in putting in some extra time creating your systems now to save you way more time later.
WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT TEACHING?
I received my undergrad degree in Early Childhood Education from Bowling Green State University in Ohio in 2003. When I couldn't secure a job in my hometown, I moved 2,000 miles from Ohio to Southwest Florida!
There, I finally snagged a classroom and was elated!
While in Florida (I have since moved back to Ohio to be closer to family), I added a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, as well as my gifted certification to my curriculum vitae.
I have been involved in school committees, been a grade level chair, spoken at local, state, and national conferences, been featured in teacher magazines, and have directly worked with companies such as Pinterest, eBay, ASCD, WeAreTeachers, NEA, and more.
All - while being a single parent with no assistance from friends or famly. In fact, I didn't know a single soul when I moved to Florida! Yet, found a way to put in my contract hours successfully while still maintaining a household and my sanity.
It all started from a simple planning and time management system I began that worked for me and built on from there. Are you ready to build your system too? Let's go!

DISCLAIMER
This course works if you do, but it does not guarantee that you will have complete life bliss in 4 weeks. Even though I have represented this course in the most honest and truthful way possible, and the process that I teach in this course has worked for me, your results may vary depending on a number of factors including your individual life challenges, dedication, skills, ability, and determination, etc. Because these factors vary according to each individual, I cannot and do not guarantee your success.
However, if you make the time, put in the effort and commit to this course, I will support you in reaching your goals for the duration of the 4 weeks. You are responsible for the results you achieve. I do my best to provide you with quality information and guidance within reason, but ultimately it is up to you to achieve the results you desire.
