SCHEDULE CHANGE! I’m partnering with Rocket PD to offer a live-virtual cohort called Unlocking Teacher Productivity starting in late January.

(Originally when this announcement was released, I mentioned October, but we've pushed things back to accomodate a major release in federal funding that won't reach schools until later this fall.)

Unlocking Teacher Productivity isn’t a self-paced course you sign up for and maybe forget about. It's a deep-dive, interactive experience where we’ll meet every TUESDAY for five 90-minute sessions:

NEW 2026 DATES: JAN 27, FEB 3, 10, 17, 24

7:00-8:30 PM Eastern / 4:00-6:30 Pacific

Here’s how it works: each week, we’ll meet over Zoom. There will be a mix of my teaching (you’ll see my face and slides), short periods for quiet reflection—meaning I’ll pause periodically for you to complete exercises so you don’t have to do them afterward on your own time—and opportunities for discussion with other educators during the 90-minute session if that’s something that appeals to you. I’ll also answer questions afterward if you’d like personalized advice.

We’re going to cover practical systems and strategies to help you get control over your time and your work. You’ll learn how to:

  • Get your email under control once and for all.

  • Organize your digital files so you can actually find what you need.

  • Build a to-do list system that doesn’t live in your brain 24/7.

  • Plan lessons in advance in a way that’s flexible and responsive to your students—no more scrambling the night before.

  • Prioritize high-impact work so you can spend less time on busywork and more time on what really matters for learning.

  • Explore time-blocking, AI tools, productivity for students, and more.

Now, if you’ve taken my 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Full Year course, yes—there’s some overlap in concepts, like the target number planner. But this cohort is live and interactive, rather than self-paced, and has built-in accountability because we meet each week and check in to see how the strategies are working for you. And, it’s only a five-week commitment.

I’ll give a variety of options for “homework” between sessions: stuff you can just reflect on if that’s all you have time for, easy actionable steps to try out, and deep dives if you really want to get results. Regardless of which option you choose, you’ll have time each week to reflect, discuss how to apply what you’re learning, and report back the next week. It’s accountability in the best sense—you’re not just consuming information; you’re actively putting it into practice.

Remember, you don’t have to attend every live session. You’ll get recordings of every session plus a downloadable workbook. Templates, systems, and strategies are all included—it’s ready to implement immediately.

Plus, you’ll receive a nationally recognized PD certificate for CEUs.

This cohort is designed to be practical and doable: real solutions that will stick with you for your whole K-12 teaching career, no matter what or where you teach in the future. 

This is only offered once per year, so if you’ve been waiting for a chance to finally get your teaching life organized, to feel on top of your time, and to plan ahead without burnout—this is it.

Spaces are limited. Sign up below for my cohort or others happening this fall, winter, and spring:
