Your Hands-On Guide to Thriving Your First Years of Teaching

We welcome you to this amazing profession with open arms, and with an arsenal of experience and essential tools, strategies, and lessons to help you establish a successful and satisfying teaching career.
We wanted to make it easier for you to learn and practice these techniques that research shows increase student learning. To do so, we also considered cognitive psychology research that tells us that images and illustrations can help strengthen communication and our own understanding.

Detailed guidance for developing formative and summative assessments
30+ classroom videos demonstrating the techniques and strategies in action
