THE 3-STEP METHOD TO CREATING YOUR PERFECT ELA CLASS PERIOD + SCHOOL YEAR
alongside an alternating unit framework
This 3-step method will show you how to seamlessly scaffold and integrate your ELA sub-subjects all year long to increase student engagement and proficiency while decreasing your prep and planning.
After this class, you'll know how to:
I'll show you how to create the perfect class period structure designed for standard-aligned, effective unit teaching...
...no matter how many minutes you have or how many ELA sub-subjects you teach.
I'll break down how to embed work time for students into your class periods to benefit their improvement and your work-life balance.
I'll show you how to integrate other ELA systems into your year so students have immediate application to increase their engagement and improvement.
These systems will increase student proficiency while reducing your planning and grading.
There is nothing worse than seeing another teacher use a framework that works so beautifully that you have to try it yourself.... only to have it completely flop.
Just like we like to give students a choice to increase buy-in, the same is said for teachers. We'll help you narrow down the ones that work best for you.
As a former elementary teacher, I thought I had to squeeeeze in everything every day. Not true!
I'll show you how to alternate units that naturally scaffold and spiral and pull from all ELA standards. Reading, writing, and grammar will all work together seamlessly and students will transfer from one subject to another.
You'll leave with editable planning templates and done-for-you units, schedules, and pacing guides to use alongside the workshop.

a.k.a The Hungry Teacher
When I switched to middle school ELA, I went from 24 students to 150 students and needed practical and realistic teaching and planning strategies that also got me results.
I also wanted to go home to my husband and babies and be present in each moment I had with them.
Middle school ELA students still need a lot of scaffolding, step-by-step teaching, and TONS of examples to begin to apply their learning.
The resources and workshops on The Hungry Teacher are designed to support middle school ELA teachers by providing them with scaffolded resources, units, curriculums, and tailored training, so they can stop worrying about if they're fitting it all in and instead...
... know that they have the frameworks, resources, training, and support to enjoy teaching day in and day out.
Those of just that love teaching middle school ELA know that it is one of the most fun and most challenging jobs all at the same time.
Only those who teach middle school ELA really understand.
The strategies and frameworks in this FREE workshops will give you hundreds of hours of your time back...
...so really what have you got to lose?
