After teaching for over 12 years, I am now a full-time
curriculum writer on a mission to help teachers thrive in
education. I have a deep love for learning and teaching all
subjects, which is reflected in the variety of topics that I
blog about and the resources I make. I hope you find this
little “teacher tool” useful in your classroom! Questions or
comments? Please e-mail me at GotToTeach@icloud.com
