Finally end the overworked English teacher cycle you're stuck in and streamline
grading once and for all. 

I NEED THIS! LEARN MORE

Pretending teacher stress is normal doesn't make it any less dangerous.


Overworked English teachers feel that they are powerless to change the status quo.

 

But what if I told you that it's possible to shift the narrative, to lead as teachers in creating a more balanced life?

 

Because it is totally possible to find ways to give effective feedback AND have a life, too

Why English Teachers Need a Reset:

There’s very little research on how students progress; there’s a lot more research on how teachers think students should progress. 

Educators and school staff reported working more than their regularly scheduled hours 13 or 14 days per month— over two-thirds of the total working days in a month. 

Educators and school staff find their work “always” or “often” stressful 61 percent of the time, significantly higher than workers in the general population, who report that work is “always” or “often” stressful only 30 percent of the time. -Educator Quality of Work Life Survey

Teacher feedback often falls short due to it being not timely, not useful, or too critical

This is the only course that addresses not only the nitty gritty strategies but also the bigger-picture organization and mindset shifts that allow for successful implementation.

👉 Step-by-step lessons that discuss ideas and strategies that will allow you to provide specific feedback efficiently and effectively.

👉 Expert coaching from a veteran, NBCT teacher (yours truly!) who practices this stuff on the daily (ie. I know what I'm doing).

👉 Lifetime access for the duration of the program, including ALL future updates!

YES, I NEED THIS!!

SUPERCHARGE YOUR TEACHER WORKFLOW & GET YOUR LIFE BACK!

Developed for the overworked English teacher who’s (more than) ready to:

  • Learn EVERY. SINGLE. THING. you need to know about giving meaningful feedback to encourage student learning. 
  • Start identifying limiting beliefs and that keep you stuck in the overwhelm and procrastination cycle.
  • Leverage your time effectively to work smarter, not harder by using a variety of creative and practical strategies to make feedback accessible and actionable.
  • Align your practice with your beliefs about student learning to create a feedback culture.
  • Level-up to grow into a strategic English teacher leader who can ditch the stress of grading (and not feel guilty about it)! 
 

What does this all mean?

TL;DR: It's up to YOU to re-claim your time and sanity. Change is scary, but it's necessary!

If you want to create true and lasting change and find strategies that work for you AND your students...

You must break away from what you've always done. 

(Because you know what they say about doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results...)

The key is to take action.

What Teachers Are Saying...

YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE, EVEN IF:

...the word "grading" makes you slightly (or a lot-ly) nauseous and anxious

...you've been stressed about grading ever since you can remember (and have perfected procrastination as an art form).

...you wonder if there really IS a way to reduce grading as an ever-present nemesis.

...you feel like you can't step off of the teacher treadmill, even for a few minutes. 

...you feel like this won't work for your students or your situation.

It all starts with YOU. Who do you want to be?

Maybe you feel like you are in a powerless and hopeless place right now. I mean, let's face it, this has been one 'ell of a year.

That's exactly why you need to stop the insanity once and for all.

Teachers just like you who actively seek solutions are taking back their freedom to create a life they love in AND out of the classroom.

It's not just about teaching. It's about stepping out as a leader.

It's about practicing what we preach about being lifelong learners. 

It's about taking action to create a space for self-reflection in the midst of the chaos. 

Because the hero has to win at the end of the story. 

(And your story is not over yet!)

In fact, this could be just the plot twist you need to grow into the best version of yourself.

I'M READY TO RESET MY GRADING

You DESERVE a Reset!

Your Grading Reset Plan in Just 3 Simple Steps:

1. Refresh and Reframe (i.e. ditch the stinkin' thinkin', the guilt, the preconceived ideas)

2. Get Organized...On Purpose

3. Leverage a Variety of Effective Strategies

"Change is possible with the help of this course."

Instead of grading being a never ending mountain I can’t seem to climb, it will be a navigable process.

I now feel more equipped to efficiently grade and confident. I can’t explain how pumped I am to use what I’ve learned!

The burden of grading writing no longer has to be a burden. Turning a dreaded (yet necessary and important) task into a more manageable and organized process will save you precious time while still giving you the needed insight into your students’ abilities.

This will definitely be a bright spot in my life as an educator (and especially this difficult year) that will continue to have positive impact moving forward. I have enjoyed this experience!

It's Time to Flip the Script

How to save time grading...the real secret...

 

"This hasn't been done before, even if the Barenaked Ladies said so in 2004. :P"

I was certain I had thought of everything in terms of making grading easier and more efficient. My perception changed when I realized that when it comes to grading and feedback, I need help!

The Grading Reboot offers fresh insight, new ideas, and lots of takeaways that can be applied to any classroom teacher's repertoire. Your course feels so personal, like it's just you and me and you're mentoring me in the ways that are applicable and will help balance my mom life, personal time, and teacher time.

I really needed guidance on the feedback piece of teaching. In a general way, all the lessons gave me inspiration to be better and implement tools immediately.

I am entering my first weekend looking forward to providing feedback instead of GRADING!!! I've already implemented the free Google Rubric spreadsheet and am living my dream of having a rubric for everything. I am in LOVE.

I can already tell that I am going to do a lot of growing and changing this semester into the ELA teacher I've envisioned for some time; however, I'm even more excited about what this will do for my students.

-Julie Newton (ELA grades 6, 7, 8)

A's to the Q's

You have questions. I'm here for it!

ENROLL IN GRADING RESET TODAY!


Now's the time for you to make one of two choices...

The first choice is to do nothing. And as you already know, if you choose nothing… then nothing changes.

BUT, if you already know that you want to take action to seek solutions and fight against the unhealthy imbalance that is status quo, then your choice is obvious: join us inside Grading Reset™ and start your teacher-leader transformation. 

YESSSS, I WANT IN!!

CAREFUL! Don't stay in the trenches. 

It’s SO easy to fall (head first) into the “I'm going to just keep doing what I've always done” trap...

...And it IS a trap.

It's less satisfying than cotton candy and ten times as unhealthy (←Rough estimate.)

I've been there...

You keep telling yourself that you'll figure it out later or during a break, yet when break comes that's the last thing you want to think about. Plus, you look around and other English teachers seem to be soldiering along "just doing the best they can.

But you know what is so totally unfair?

When we measure ourselves by the average and stay in our ranks, we get average results.

And that means that next year you'll still be living for the weekends, talking about how much time grading costs you

How much time will pass by?

How many missed moments

Teachers are not soldiers!

I'm pretty sure that when you signed up for teaching, you did not enlist for the kind of active duty that costs you your personal life, right?

So let me ask you this: how often do you spent time planning or grading or emailing or dedicating brain space to teaching during your personal time?

How often have you prioritized your students above your own family or friends? Taken the guilt bag of grading home only to fall asleep eating takeout food on the couch at 7 p.m. while your kids watched a Wild Kratts re-run?

There is no alternative to grading. You can't hire it out. You can't ignore it.

The real cost here for lack of action is time. How much is an hour of your time worth? What price can you put on peace of mind and time with family? 

The solution is simple.

Get OUT of the trenches! And though this is not the only place you'll find answers, this is the only place they're packaged for you into accessible, actionable lessons with opportunities for coaching and support along the way.
