Finally end the overworked English teacher cycle you're stuck in and streamline
grading once and for all.
Pretending teacher stress is normal doesn't make it any less dangerous.
...and 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 Teacher Reset?
4 Mind-Blowing Quotes About GRADING That will have you saying, "I need a re-set!!"
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.
What Does All This 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.
Here are some action-takers who have shared how a
Grading Re-Set gave them the mindset, organization, and strategies for success.
"I have 3x'ed my email list, Spent $418 and Made $9,000"
"I have 3x'ed my email list, grow my audience and generated sales."
"I have generated $0.35 leads from cold traffic. I have created campaigns where I spent $218 and made $2000 and My most recent launch I spent $418 and (so far we are still in it) made $9,000."
"This course helped me to FINALLY understand FB ads and run a profitable campaign!"
-Mariana Ruiz
"Following FB Video Ads, on my first ever beta launch for a digital product that wasn't even created, I generated 3x the FB ad spend."
I literally never even signed into the FB Ads jungle prior to this course. I knew it was essential, but had heard so many stories about how confusing it was, I wanted to wait until I had a trusted source to guide me through it. That trusted source was James Wedmore and FB Video Ads. The course was easy to follow and also laid out in a way that I could go back and repeat those parts where I needed to actually pause the video, perform the steps on my end, and then continue. I understood the main concepts, but while the fine tuning elements of reading the detailed stats in FB are tough to dial into with my "big picture" brain, I appreciated that he guided me to focus on those stats that mattered.

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.
“James Wedmore has always been my #1 resource for video marketing.
In my earlier years of making videos, I was embarrassed to post them online because they looked and sounded terrible. But once I started to apply James's simple tips to make my videos better, I saw an instant increase in my video views and overall audience engagement. James is so good at making video creation simple because he has the unique ability to break things down in a way that a "non-techy" person like me can instantly understand and apply. I truly attribute much of my video success to what I have learned from James.”

It's Time to Flip the Script
How to save time grading...the real secret...
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.
Important Note: It matters to me that this makes an actual, measurable difference for you and your teaching life...which is why I’m offering a 30-day, no questions asked, money back GUARANTEE. If you're not satisfied with the quality of the content, or for any other reason whatsoever, just shoot me an email ([email protected]) requesting a full, immediate refund. Cool?
