I've taught for 10 years and still do casual days, so I know the 7am phone call. New school, no work left, a class you've never met, and no book to build a lesson around. I made this kit for those mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick your stage, choose a few activities and start teaching. Every activity runs on a whiteboard, paper and pencils. There's no book to track down and no tech to set up. Each stage has more activities than you'll need in a day, so you can choose what suits the class in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUse it again and again\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12 printables aren't tied to one lesson. Use the character profile with any book, the KWL chart with any new topic and the tally and graph with any class survey.

In that time I've taught as a K–6 classroom teacher, worked as a casual teacher, and led as a Stage 3 Assistant Principal. That mix means I know the classroom from every angle, from walking into a new school with no work left, to supporting teachers and planning for a whole stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI also have lots of experience implementing and teaching with technology, particularly Apple devices and Smartboards. I love helping students and teachers use technology in ways that make learning more engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully accredited teacher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage 3 Assistant Principal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified Apple Classroom Teacher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you use it, I'd love to hear how it went.
