"This will be my 6th year teaching - second in elementary school! I feel much more organized and prepared going into this year than I did last summer! I've learned so much about preparation, planning, curriculum, and classroom setup!"
Mary
"Before I started this course, I felt like OH MY GOSH I am the only brand new teacher who has never set up a classroom and doesn't know what she's going to teach and is totally lost (dramatic, right?). It has been awesome to be able to connect with educators who are in the same boat as me. I am feeling more confident going into the school year."
Maria
"I love the course so much, thank you!! Something I have always struggled with is what do I have in my classroom and how to make it useful. Scheduling also has been very helpful and I feel more prepared in going into the school year with a plan!"
"I know what to do on Day 1 with my students."

“There was not a program set up in my class, so I had to start from scratch. I was overwhelmed and I didn't know what I would do. I struggled through my first year and that summer I really wanted to figure out some way to do things that worked. There aren't that many resources for self-contained classrooms, especially severe-profound teachers. I learned how to structure my schedule better, individual and classroom schedules… When I started in the fall I had a solid set of interventions and plans.”
Dana
“I'm switching from general education to special education and have just been feeling all the major emotions about a new district, new school, and new role. Although I have virtually no access to my room, caseload, and curriculum until August, I feel like I have a solid game plan and foundation of what I need to do to get my room set up for success on Day 1. In addition, I'm also feeling a lot more confident about managing paraprofessionals and creating a team atmosphere from the get-go!”
Whitney
“This was a life saver for me! I was a first year teacher in a self-contained structured autism classroom, and I needed all the help I could get with classroom setup, organization, behavior, and scheduling. This course helped with all of that! The prompts Alyssa gave and all the resources she shared were so helpful, and the course was organized in a way that wasn’t stressful. Alyssa helped walk me through my first year. I 100% recommend completing this course if you are in your first few years of teaching!”
"I feel that I will be a better leader."
Grace
Amber
"This is my 6th year in a 3 Yr. Old preschool class with a mix of special education students and at-risk students. I have loved the set up tool! Much easier than physically moving furniture all around and changing it again!"
Valerie
"My biggest transformation would have to be feeling less anxious and stressed and now feeling more at ease and prepared for a brand new year as a first year teacher. The resources and how to use them were helpful."
Brittany
"I work through the summer at our school and I used these modules to create amazing wall schedules for my students. My students are loving them. The videos were simple and easy to follow and they came out wonderful."
