We are a group of current classroom teachers. We span the grade levels from 1st to 12th. We love what we do, and for us, designing content is fun! We never sell anything that we don't use in our classrooms. Everything is teacher-affordable.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Our classrooms are creative spaces where learners are engaged, having fun, and are constantly being challenged. We like to put our own SPIN on everything we do. We are innovative and definitely outside-the-box! We are SPinnovators! If you put us all together, we've been teaching for DECADES!!! Our veteran teacher has been teaching for almost 40 years, and our newest teacher has been teaching for 3 years. We have so many different experiences, views, strategies, and content to share with you!

MY TEACHING STYLE

-Take Mary Poppins. Throw in a neuroscientist. Add Rainbow Brite. -Add in books, games, hard work, research, and lots of laughter. -Mix in engaged learners who are active participants in what they learn and how they learn it. You'll end up with thriving students, happy parents, and excellent evaluations.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

We have received many accolades from colleagues, administrators, and parents. However, our best award is watching our students advance in their educational journey, reach heights that they did not know were possible, and enjoy learning. Recently one of our teachers was observed for a formal evaluation. Ten minutes after the 60-minute observation was done, she received an email from the administrator. It started with: I wish I could be in your classroom all day long! That's how we feel about each other's classrooms. We would love to be a student there. We hope that your students will love our content as much as our students do!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Villanova Princeton Gwynedd-Mercy Towson Rowan LSU Boston TCNJ Vanderbilt University of Michigan Columbia School of Hard Knnocks

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

ENGAGE THOSE BRAINS! We have extensive experience in working with students that have special needs including gifted students. Some of us are parents who have children with an IEP and a 504. We are able to see many facets of education which makes us stronger teachers, parents, and people. Some of us have children in gifted and advanced programs. Many of us have kids that play on a million teams and are involved in too many activities to count. A few of us are just starting out on our journeys and are single with fur-babies. ALL OF US have a passion for teaching, We love to: read, explore, design content, learn, immerse ourselves in all things Disney, play and watch sports, and spend time with family and friends. We wear many hats at school, but teacher is our favorite.
