3 Middle School ELA Teaching and Planning Strategies for a Successful and Stress-Free Year.
The exact teaching strategies I used to increase my students ELA proficiency scores by 70% in just two years + the classroom framework for how I NEVER brought any grading home.
In this Masterclass
YOU WILL LEARN
1
✏️ How to scaffold your writing analysis instruction specifically for middle school ELA to help your students produce writing content you actually want to read and grade.
Engage students with rigorous reading and writing instruction through the use of mentor texts and examplars.
2
📚How to plan reading lessons with a structure that teaches students to dig deeper into the literature and informational reading standards.
Create and implement structured literary lessons to that foster critical thinking and increase student reading volume.
3
✨How to increase students' reading and writing volume and quality, while actually reducing the amount of time the teacher spends prepping, planning, and grading.
I'll show you how to scaffold and streamline instruction that increases your student's production and quality, while also laying out how to create and implement a class period structure that gets all your grading done in class.

How I never bring any grading home.
"My lessons were all over the place and nothing was organized but since joining I've been able to have continuity- being able to have a routine for myself and my students. I have been able to dive deeper into the curriculum and standards to align with our reading selections. I love how it opened my eyes to different strategies and approaches to curriculum. I am able to meet my students needs in more ways than before. "

Drowning in grading and wondering if it's even worth it?
I used to spend all my evenings and weekends grading reading responses, essays, writing paragraphs of feedback, and re-teaching based on all those assessments.... only to have to do it all over again the next week.
Then I'd spend all week lesson planning, prepping, begging my students to read and write, re-working lessons.... only to produce results that made it appear like nothing had been done in my classroom all year long.
But I want to reassure you that you CAN have lessons that are engaging, results-producing, and that create systems and structures that allow you to actually grade every single thing in class...
....so while your students are working, improving, and growing, you get to go home at night and do whatever the heck you want.
The reality is STUDENTS need to be doing the work with the support of a teacher that is there to guide their discussions, support their learning, model quality work, and provide feedback so they can improve.
BUT, it isn’t as easy as just telling you to make the students do all the work while you prep less, plan less, and grade less.
The #1 reason you might not be able to plan, prep, and grade less while still getting results, is because you do NOT have the strategies and resources in place…. a problem that is 100% fixable.
A Note From The Instructor...
When I made the switch 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 birthed two humans during my time in middle school ELA, and wanted needed to go home with everything planned, prepped, and graded so I could be a mom and wife.
Middle school ELA students still need a lot of scaffolding, step-by-step teaching, and TONS of examples for them to begin to apply their learning. I begin creating resources and units that had all these elements and my students’ ELA proficiency test scores increased 70% in just two years.
I know that it’s important for you to have resources and strategies that are easy for you to implement, but I also know that teachers want to see that those resources and strategies are effective.
These strategies have been used for six years in my middle school ELA classroom, and now you have access to them as well.
